Although I love Emilie as much as the next plague rat, and am basically going to kill myself when she does her show here and I can't go because I'm po', that's one of the quotes I actually disagree with... I think intelligence doesn't stop at seeing the truth, but also learning how to accept it.
Dunno if that takes intellegence or just pure gumption. Have the pride, the strength of self to say F that, I have other plans- we are all better than this and I will show you.
