Always stick with people who know they are flawed and ridiculous

"Never feel good. The corruption of the good by the belief in their own infallible goodness is the most bloody dangerous human pitfall. Once you have conquered all your sins, pride is the one which will conquer you. A man starts off deciding he is a good man because he makes good decisions. Next thing, he's convinced that whatever decision he makes must be good because he's a good man. So you've got Bin Laden hitting the Twin Towers and Tony Blair invading Baghdad. Most of the wars in the world are caused by people who think they have God on their side. Always stick with people who know they are flawed and ridiculous."
                                                       -Professor Widgett from Olivia Joules and The Overactive Imagination.

I love this excerpt and as soon as I read it I knew I wanted to post it.

On a style note, I like the brightness of the red against these gray trousers. I've always said that I like to dress one notch higher than expected, because you never know where the day takes you. And so today, I had to suddenly attend a press conference. I was very glad I was looking my confident best because there were a lot of photogs. You never want that moment when your face is in a magazine and you look less-than-gorgeous.

Have a nice week!

  1. Chic and sleek. The red is so lively against the gray.

    And that thing about goodness...ohhhh my! SO many examples of those so called infallible beings, that I nearly fell over myself, agreeing with you. Awesome post!
