"There are few things more disturbing than to find, in somebody we detest, a moral quality which seems to us demonstrably superior to anything we ourselves possess.

He said that he thought it would make me smile, after a run through the mine field that is my brain, I did smile and was once again thankful for something 'old' that it teaches. We all, no matter how high and mighty, can be laid low by the simplest realization that the whole thing is not about us.
