Wisdom is keeping a sense of fallibility of all our views and opinions.

In the frank expression of conflicting opinions lies the greatest promise of wisdom in governmental action.

Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.

Popular opinions on subjects not palpable to sense are often true but seldom or never the whole truth.

Those who never retract their opinions love themselves more than they love the truth.

I never ask boys' opinions on clothes ever. I really think unless you think the guy has style don't ask. So I only ask my girl friends. I don't trust guys' opinions on style!

I don't listen to people's opinions. I have people around me who I can trust but most of all I listen to myself.

As a person I was born to give out my opinions. By giving out my opinions I realize who I am. As long as I can communicate I'm not so lonely. If I cannot travel or do art or have company if they take away all my belongings it doesn't matter at all.

People who don't know me have opinions about me. That's the part that's very hurtful. Because how do you form an opinion about somebody if you've never met them or spent any time with them? So it's all based upon hearsay or things that they've read.

I think I'm also more open to other writers being present and listening to other opinions whereas before I was going through my angsty teen years while making records.
