"I remember going through the cafeteria line and telling every kid that Nixon was in favor of school on Saturdays. It was my first political trick."

I'm not good at having friends. I mean, I can make myself useful to people. I can fit in. I get invited to parties and I can sit at any table I want in the cafeteria. But actually trusting someone when they have nothing to gain from me just doesn't make sense. All friendships are negotiations of power.
