“Automobiles are free of egotism, passion, prejudice and stupid ideas about where to have dinner. They are, literally, selfless. A world designed for automobiles instead of people would have wider streets, larger dining rooms, fewer stairs to climb and no smelly, dangerous subway stations.”
P. J. O'Rourke
“I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly.”
Oscar Wilde

“I have nothing to declare except my genius.”
“Nothing makes one so vain as being told one is a sinner. Conscience makes egotists of us all.”
“Since I no longer expect/ anything from mankind except/ madness,/ meanness, and mendacity;/ egotism,/ cowardice,/ and/ self-delusion,/ I have stopped/ being a/ misanthrope.”
Irving Layton
“Mastery passes often for egotism.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
