"To me it seems to be important to believe people to be good even if
they tend to be bad, because your own joy and happiness in life is
increased that way, and the pleasures of the belief outweigh the
occasional disappointments. To be a cynic about people works just the
other way around and makes you incapable about enjoying the good things."
Via Esther Schindler.
I love his interview with Dr. Strangepork in
Muppet Magazine!
