"I nodded and leaned back in my chair, thinking, Listen to what? He’s so nice, she’s so nice, aren’t they so nice. Nice is a mystery to me because while on some mundane level I aspire to it, it is the last thing I would want a table full of dullards saying about me… I don’t understand nice. Nice is a lazy one-syllable word and says nothing it all. I prefer to surround myself with more complex words, such as heroic and commanding."
