If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right (Jerry, to George)


Why did it all turn out like this for me? I had so much promise. I was personable.

I was bright. Oh, maybe not academically speaking, but I was perceptive. I always know when someone’s uncomfortable at a party. It all became very clear to me sitting out there today, that every decision I’ve ever made in my entire life has been wrong.

My life is the complete opposite of everything I want it to be. Every instinct I have in every aspect of life, be it something to wear, something to eat… It’s often wrong.

(George Costanza in 'The Opposite')
