You spend your life in Ireland trying to hide that you have a mental illness.”

“When you have more crimes, you need more cops—and when you have more cops, you find more ways to use them. (In the US, for instance, we consider it normal to have armed police officers enforce compliance with traffic regulations, even though most traffic violations don’t constitute criminal offenses. It’s the equivalent of routinely sending armed police to enforce IRS regulations or municipal building code regulations. It makes little sense, and increases the number of police-citizen encounters with the potential to go badly wrong.)”

“When you have much higher ethical values than the ethical values of your own people, you stop belonging to your own people, to your own country because your people and your country are now located in the low levels of humanity!”

“When you have multiple options and you can choose only one, you often feel unhappy about discarding the rest of the options, when your chosen option does not provide you happiness and satisfaction. Also, when you have multiple options, you never feel settled since you are always moving from one option to another, one person to another and one job to another which ends up making your life more miserable than enjoyable.”
