The Rise of Endymion by Dan Simmons

“Isozaki is frightened,” said Father Farrell. “He thinks …” The Grand Inquisitor raised one finger. Farrell stopped in midsentence. “You do not know that he is frightened,” said the Cardinal. “You do not know what he thinks. You can only know what he says and does and infer his thoughts and reactions from that. Never make unsupportable assumptions about your enemies, Martin. It can be a fatal self-indulgence.”

I love this.

Never make unsupportable assumptions...

Sure, they quote is about something else. But still, whatever, this is my blog and I like what I like.
