When you lose their respect, no matter what you do, no matter how many wins you chalk up, you'll never get it back.

— We're celebrating? Today was a disaster, and we got lucky.
— You're right. But when you get lucky, you celebrate.

Empathy's very important. Telling the cold hard truth, even when it hurts, sometimes is the most empathetic thing we can do.

Everyone has an agenda. Sometimes it's conscious, sometimes it's not, but it's always there.

— You don't think an organ donation should be an altruistic act?
— Can it be? A majority of donors do it to make their own lives more worthwhile, and almost a quarter do it to relieve guilt over a past mistake.

The emotional baggage is the relationship. Everybody has their issues the point is to sort them out together.

— Stories don't change minds.
— Stories are the only things that change minds. We're compelled by fear more than reason.

There's nothing wrong with an ego if you can back it up.
