I told my mother that everyone hates me.
She said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet.

Quote of the moment
"Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best-seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher." -Flannery O'Connor
I'm confused. Is O'Connor saying that universities should work harder to stifle writers who create best sellers? Because he has such a low opinion of best sellers? I think so.
