That's one of my favourite quotes from Ayn Rand. She refers to it several times - some author or professor saying "There are no absolutes". LOL

The other one is "Why do you think that you think?"

I was reminded very much of these quotes (and of Ayn Rand in general) when Dusek was making his closing argument. Especially the bit about "if everyone else agrees on something, and you don't, maybe you're the one that's wrong". Rand had one of her characters phrase it as, "Who are you to be so sure?"
