I like this thread. I'm sure I'll use whatever clever one-line responses are posted, and I hope there are many.
Unfortunately I don't have a talent for witty one-liners. Apparently, if it's not a wall-of-text, I can barely bring myself to hit "submit."
The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers
