A Quote by Emanuel Lasker

The only vice that cannot be forgiven is hypocrisy. The repentance of a hypocrite is itself hypocrisy.
I really embrace my hypocrisy. I embrace that because after I do that, I can move on; I can try and go away from that. You gotta understand what your problem is and know what it is, and then you can change it. You can't just be like, "I'm a hypocrite, and to not be a hypocrite, I'm just going to not do hypocritical things." You can't do that; you don't even understand what a hypocrite is.

You know, chess is about questions and answers.

This is what the democratic process is like.
