If you have a political loyalty, you may be offered a shady reason for agreeing to a lie or a half-truth that serves some short-term purpose. Everybody devises tactics for getting through such moments; try behaving "as if" they need not be tolerated and are not inevitable. Christopher Hitchens

Average people didn't analyze what they thought: they thought they thought, and half of it was gut reaction. C. J. Cherryh
Emily Giffin quote: "You see yourself as very average, ordinary. And there is..."
You see yourself as very average, ordinary. And there is nothing ordinary about you, Rachel." (Something Borrowed) Emily Giffin
It will always be the same possibilities, in sum or on the average, that go on repeating themselves until a man comes along who does not value the actuality above idea. It is he who first gives the new possibilities their meaning, their direction, and he awakens them. Robert Musil
A particularly fine head on a man usually means that he is stupid; particularly deep philosophers are usually shallow thinkers; in literature, talents not much above the average are usually regarded by their contemporaries as geniuses. Robert Musil
Dale Murphy quote: "God isn't really interested in our batting averages."
God isn't really interested in our batting averages. Dale Murphy
Your average pop song or film is a very sophisticated item, with very sophisticated ways of listening and viewing that we have not really consciously developed over the years - because we were having such a good time. Paul Muldoon
