It's not just that I'm stupid; it's that I'm just smart enough to know how stupid I am. I wish I weren't so stupid. Or that I were stupider.

More quotes by John S. Hall

Today, life will offer me many lessons. I will learn nothing.

Many people talk as if they have all the answers, whereas I know I don't. That's probably why no one listens to me.

The task that lies before me is daunting and the rewards are uncertain. I should probably let someone else do it.

There will always be people who have power over me, who can destroy my spirit and drain my soul. My best defense is to behave as if I have no soul, to act as if my spirit has already been crushed. Perhaps then, I will be left alone or ignored.

When my mind is operating at its peak, it should depress me to think that this is the best I can do, because it's not very good at all. When my mind is operating normally, I should be even more depressed.
