This is one of my favorite movie quotes of all time. It is from The Princess Bride. So much of what I read on here, in comments, more so in certain blogs, and especially in the mums reminds me of the hubris evident in this quote.
For my taste, too many people are their own biggest fan on here and not at all shy about letting everyone know how great they are. It is tiresome.
Yes I know that this exaggerated haughtiness is likely the result of deep rooted insecurities but I don’t really care.
Just some thoughts I wanted to put into words. I am not sure if I am any better off, happier, etc. for having done so.
Hopefully remembering the quote makes some of you smile as it does to me.
