Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in while, or the light won't come in.
From Alan Alda
It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.

When I was about ten years old, I gave my teacher an April Fool's sandwich, which had a dead goldfish in it.
I would like to know that when I read the paper in the morning, it's telling me something that actually happened, and I think the vast majority of journalists want the same thing.
Be fair with others, but then keep after them until they're fair with you.
I'm an angry person, angrier than most people would imagine, I get flashes of anger. What works for me is working out when it's useful to use that anger.
I read science, because to me, that's extremely exciting. It's like a great detective story, and it's happening right in front of us.
I've been lucky enough to live through all the things that are supposed to give meaning to our lives, like parenting, grandparenting, art, celebrity. All these things you expect meaning to come from, and sometimes it comes when you're not expecting it.
I was a child, and my mother was psychotic. She loved me, but I didn't really feel I had a mother. And when you live with somebody who is paranoid and thinks you're trying to kill them all the time, you tend to feel a little betrayed.
