“Paranoid fear and suspicion is found in up to one-third of people, a surprising new study says. Four in 10 have marked worries about negative comments being made about them; 27 per cent say they believe people are deliberately trying to irritate them; one-fifth worry about being observed; and five per cent believe there may be a conspiracy to harm them.”
Maclean’s July 24, 2006

“A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what’s going on.”
William S. Burroughs (quoted for instance at https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/14116-a-paranoid-is-someone-who-knows-a-little-of-what-s)

Woody Allen, quoted as “Thought du jour” in Globe & Mail June 2, 2003 [and yes, we’re all feeling squeamish about Allen now but it’s still a good line].
