"Isaiah Berlin once denounced somebody for being “that rare thing – a genuine charlatan”. He pointed out that few people, even quacks and imposters, deceive and manipulate all the time.

"Every man must define his identity against his mother. If he does not, he just falls back into her and is swallowed up." Camille Paglia
