Said to have been said. Probably untrue. But unlike most of those glib sayings that "they say they said", completely in character for the both of them.

Another, probably apocryphal, quote by Churchill:

George Bernard Shaw to Churchill: please find enclosed two tickets for the opening night of my play for you and a friend (if you have one)
Churchill to GBS: can’t make the opening night. I’ll try and come to the second night (if there is one!)

That's how we are, believing we are superior beings.

Not at all. We eat them, knowing full well that they would not hesitate a second to do the same thing to us. (And they wouldn't, either!)

First there is a time when we believe everything,
then for a little while we believe with discrimination,
then we believe nothing whatever,
and then we believe everything again - and, moreover, give reasons why we believe.

Judi Dench:
"Don’t prioritize your looks my friend, as they won’t last the journey.
Your sense of humor though, will only get better with age.
Your intuition will grow and expand like a majestic cloak of wisdom.
Your ability to choose your battles, will be fine-tuned to perfection.
Your capacity for stillness, for living in the moment, will blossom.
Your desire to live each and every moment will transcend all other wants.
Your instinct for knowing what (and who) is worth your time, will grow and flourish like ivy on a castle wall.
Don’t prioritize your looks my friend,
they will change forevermore, that pursuit is one of much sadness and disappointment.
Prioritize the uniqueness that make you you, and the invisible magnet that draws in other like-minded souls to dance in your orbit.
These are the things which will only get better."
