I’m not responsible for what other people think I am able to do; I don’t have to be good because they think I’m going to be good.

I have no responsibility to live up to what others expect of me. That's their mistake, not my failing.

You don't have to be responsible for the world that you're in.

I am not to blame for putting forward, in the course of my work on science, any general rule derived from a previous conclusion.
