“Lawyers have a way of seeing that sets them apart from the rest of us. In some way this special vision makes them invaluable, and in other ways, repulsive. Lawyers are much more focused on rational, logical, and objective criteria to the exclusion of the emotional, subjective, and sometimes irrational reponses to the world. Moreover, lawyers like to show no emotion, and possess a particular disdain for the emotions that are found in others, which has the quality of making them seem inhuman.” WorldWaySometimesShowsSeemsFoundEmotionQualityVisionSeeingSpecialEmotionalParticularFocusedLawyerObjectivesRationalLogicalIrrationalSubjectiveCriteriaExclusionDisdainInhumanInvaluable Author:Thane Rosenbaum

“When we love others, we naturally want to talk about them, we want to show them off, like emotional trophies. We invest them with a power to do to others what they do to us; a vain hope, as the lovers of others are rarely of much interest to us. But we listen in patience, as friends must, and as Isabel now did, refraining from comment, other than to encourage the release of the story and the attendant confession of human frailty and hope.” WantHumansStoriesShowsInterestEmotionalLoversReleaseVainCommentConfessionTrophiesFrailtyHuman Frailties Author:Alexander McCall Smith
