Seth Godin Quotes
In fact, most of the time, people with similar information, similar beliefs and similar apparent choices will choose similar actions. So if you want to know why someone does what they do, start with what they know, what they believe and where they came from.

It doesn't help us understand, and it creates a gulf that drives us apart.
