Sociopaths differ fairly dramatically in how their brains react to emotional words. An emotional word is love, hate, anger, mom, death, anything that we associate with an emotional reaction.

What is important is not that you have a defeat but how you react to it. There is always the possibility to transform a defeat into something else, something new, something strong.

They are often dangerous. — Lina Wertmuller
