1. To be self-centered does not mean to disregard the worth of other 
people. In fact, most psychologists would probably accept the position 
that we are all self-centered. 
 
 
2. The differences in math performance between boys and girls cannot be 
attributed simply to differences in innate ability. Still, if one were to ask 
the children themselves, they would probably disagree. 
 
 
3. We do not seek solitude. In fact, if we find ourselves alone for once we 
flick a switch and invite the whole world in through the TV or Internet. 
 
 
4. Little girls, of course, don't take toy guns out of their hip pockets and say 
"Pow, pow" to all their neighbors and friends like average well-adjusted 
little boys. However, if we gave little girls the six-shooters, we would soon 
have double the body count. (Anne Roiphe, "Confessions of a Female 
Chauvinist Sow") 
 
 
5. We know very little about pain and what we don't know makes it hurt all 
the more. Indeed, no form of illiteracy in the United States is so 
widespread or costly as ignorance about pain. (Norman Cousins, "Pain Is 
Not the Ultimate Enemy")
