Quote from Frasier in Ma's Little Maggie
Cliff: Look, Fras, I know what you're trying to say, that I should stand up to my mother. Well, you're not telling me anything I haven't been telling myself since my 35th birthday. It's just that, if I do, it'll hurt Ma's feelings. Frasier: What about Cliff's feelings? Cliff: Oh, who cares about Cliff's feelings? Frasier: You should. You have the right to do with your life what you will. Don't worry about what other people will think. Your first responsibility is to you. You're a real person, worthy of consideration and respect.
