"‘The more you try to impress people, the less impressed they will be’; ‘The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know’; in the words of one of my teachers, ‘The more I know, the more I acknowledge I know nothing’; and ‘The more you hate a trait in someone else, the more likely it is that you are avoiding it in yourself’ are all examples of paradoxes."
