“What's in my pocket?
You never knew
You didn't know me well
So well, as I knew you”
"Thieves".
Volume Two (2010)
As quoted in Scientific American (August 1934) p. 243
“Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself.”
Context: We’re very generous people, Americans. We gave a billion a year with the Sudan to protect and help people after these tragedies. We’re going to be involved one way or another; we’re going to be there. It would be a lot better without spending a single dime, without costing any American lives — to get in there now with robust diplomacy, hard-core diplomacy, freezing assets, freezing bank accounts, doing everything we can to protect the people who want to vote for the right to freedom... If you knew a tsunami or Katrina or a Haiti earthquake was coming, what would you do to save people?
“Do you think if people knew how crazy you really were, no one would ever talk to you?”
