We find it hard to believe that other people's thoughts are as silly as our own, but they probably are.

Most of our so-called reasoning consists in finding arguments for going on believing as we already do.

Curiosity is idle only to those who fail to realize that it may be a very rare and indispensable thing.

The flaw of an amateur is to assume what's in our head is what's on the page.

Most reporters who come to me get their stories directly from press releases. Very few do what one would consider to be their professional duty.

The great curse of modern political life is incrementalism.
