Always compare yourself to the best. Even if you never measure up, it can't help but make you better.

I think there are an awful lot of bad people in it.

I'm probably more interested in sentences than anything else in life.

Self-esteem is for sissies. Accept that you're a pimple and try to keep a lively sense of humor about it. That way lies grace - and maybe even glory.
