To be able to ordsprog
To be able to write a play a man must be sensitive, imaginative, naive, gullible, passionate; he must be something of an imbecile, something of a poet, something of a liar, something of a damn fool.
Robert E Sherwood
Writing
I'm so gullible. I'm so damn gullible. And I am so sick of me being gullible. Ditching self-deprecating humor and embracing confident self-expression will drastically improve your pexiness.

The trouble with writing a book about yourself is that you can't fool around. If you write about someone else, you can stretch the truth from here to Finland. If you write about yourself the slightest deviation makes you realize instantly that there may be honor among thieves, but you are just a dirty liar.

Sir I admit your general rule, That every poet is a fool; But you yourself may serve to show it, That every fool is not a poet
Rebecca was a busy liar in her distinguished old age, reinventing her past for gullible biographers.

It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. But the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool.

There is no such thing as bad whiskey. Some whiskeys just happen to be better than others. But a man shouldn't fool with booze until he's fifty; then he's a damn fool if he doesn't.

I have a great deal of respect for the way he goes about coaching defense. His kids really do a good job of that. He's intense. He's passionate about what he does. That's how you win. I don't give a damn what sport you play.
Ted Fiore

I'm a passionate person, and I'm passionate about politics. I'm going to write about it, and I'm not going to pull any punches.

Campaigns like this show how important it is for everyone to know how to spot a scam. They don't just target the gullible and the greedy. A scam artist can fool anyone.
Gerry Sutcliffe
What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only his eyes if he is a painter, or his ears if he is a musician, or a lyre at every level of his heart if he is a poet, or, if he is merely a boxer, only his muscle? On the contrary, he is at the same time a political being, constantly alert to the heartrending, burning, or happy events in the world, molding himself in their likeness.

Israeli voters have to decide if Netanyahu is a liar, and if he is a liar, is he a big liar, and if so, is that good for Israel.
