Analyze Quote by Robin Sacredfire
““The best way to analyze anyone consists in mirroring their behaviors and words, as when you do it they reveal their real intentions. The best way to defeat someone, consists in accepting their tools of argument, for when doing so and proving them wrong, you disarm them and make them retreat from your life.””
