I actually think that self-interest is overrated as an all-purpose guide to political motive. It leaves out something at least as powerful and immovable - individual psychology.

I've always been very liberal when it comes to people thinking for themselves.

I look back on my liberal political beliefs with a sort of wonder - as another exercise in self-involvement - rewarding myself for some superiority I could not logically describe.

Self-interest makes some people blind, and others sharp-sighted.

You are welcoming to everyone when you're a liberal. You do not have a small mind.

It's awfully hard to get into the head of a liberal. Instead of logic and reason, they are drawn to emotions and feelings.

Self-interest is but the survival of the animal in us. Humanity only begins for man with self-surrender.

I'm not very interested in myself. I do have a deep moral belief that you should always look out at other things and not be self-centred.
