From Washington Post article How the Brain Helps Partisans Admit No Gray by Shankar Vedantam on 31 July 2006, quoting Emory University psychologist Drew Westen [via, source]

Trust is set on precedent—why should it be I who bleeds?

And change as we may, whatever should follow,
I love you.
I had you here.. had you.
