"A teacher instructed his pupils, 'Between now and tomorrow I wish each
of you to find a contradiction in yourself. For instance, you might find
your face laughing over something that your emotions do not find funny.
Remember, self-contradictions are both unconscious and wasteful. I once
met a man who talked for a full hour to convince me he had conquered
compulsive talking.'"
