"Shame lies. All the time. About everything. Don't believe your shame."
"I said to him, "Shall I tell you where the men are who believe most in themselves? For I can tell you. I know of men who believe in themselves more colossally than Napoleon or Caesar.

He will be silent when he ought to speak and laugh when he ought to be silent.

Anyone who makes a virtue - a highly intellectual virtue - out of what they know to be their sin, their weakness and their guilt...

They don't know that that dream is the infallible proof of mediocrity, because that sort of world is what the man of achievement would not be able to bear."

And in a curious way, without them really knowing it, writers are the sum total of the characters they created in their heads or in their writings. Yes, My Dear Tania; writers are capable of reflecting their characters, even though most of them are determined to be just like your ordinary guy next door."
