Ian Mcewan Quotes
In a language as idiomatically stressed as English, opportunities for misreadings are bound to arise. By a mere backward movement of stress, a verb can become a noun, an act a thing.

Paradigms power perception and perceptions power emotions. Most emotions are responses to perception - what you think is true about a given situation.

Just because you believe something firmly doesn't make it true. Be willing to reexamine what you believe.
