  "I find, looking back on my life with increasing discomfort, that
  too often I have been impressed by people who were seeking to
  impress, rather than people who were impressive.  I have been
  dismissive of people who were awkward rather than stupid.  The
  more I think about it, surrounded by a swirling mass of people
  who are all, no doubt, visionaries or villains of incredible
  complexity, the more uncomfortable I become."

  - Jon Carroll, in his column for the San Francisco Chronicle,
    Wednesday, August 31, 2005.
