"I have to choose what I detest - either dreaming which my intelligence hates, or action, which my sensibility loathes; either action, for which I wasn't born, or dreaming, for which no one was born.

I begin because I don't have the strength to think, I finish because I don't have the courage to quit. This book is my cowardice."
Perfectionism
"My past is everything I failed to be."
Reflection
