PHILOSOPHY

The reward for conformity was that everyone liked you except yourself. - Rita Mae Brown

.....................................................

I keep an open mind and I like to make fun of myself. This philosophy has always served me well.

Je suis ouvert d'espirit et j'aime me moquer de moi. Elle m'a servi bien comme philosophe.
