A Good Compromise Is When Both

This line is spoken by Larry David's fictionalized version of himself in Season 7 of Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO), in which he agrees to a compromise that satisfies neither party. The observation — that a genuine compromise leaves everyone dissatisfied — is presented as both a critique of bad negotiation and a realistic account of how most social friction actually resolves. David has also expressed the sentiment in interviews as a genuine personal belief.
