Quotes
The truth is that I am more interested in what is wrong with me.
His life and his work were not separate, they were not even related, they were the same thing.
The truth was that he had been a coward for most of his life.
He was a judge, and his only interest was in justice.
His life was a series of accomplishments, small and large, but it was not a happy life.
He had never been good at dealing with others, with their mess, their confusion, their desire to talk.
He had made a mess of his life, a complete mess.
He had never been able to express himself, to say what he really felt.
He could see that his own life was a small thing, a brief and unimportant thing.
He had been afraid, afraid of everything, afraid of life, afraid of death.
