Screw it, let's do it!

Irony is the gaiety of reflection and the joy of wisdom.

Those who do not have power over the story that dominates their lives, the power to retell it, rethink it, deconstruct it, joke about it, and change it as they change, truly are powerless, because they cannot think new thoughts.

Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you do the opinions will suppress you.
