When people make us think we're thinking, we love them. When people make us actually think, we hate them."

"When people make us think we're thinking, we love them. When people make us actually think, we hate them." I love this quote, was reminded of it by this comment, and it's driving me nuts that I can't remember who said it (and neither can Google, in any of the configurations I've tried). Can anyone help?

Response by poster: And thank you, lysdexic, for reminding me of it.

Come to think of it, that quote I love sure makes me think I'm thinking. I wonder if that's a problem.
