In the end, people compare you with everything you have worshipped and held high above yourself. It’s called old age.

Attempt to transform oneself from a precious thing into something worthless.

Ingratiating oneself with the dead. Do they notice?

Love letters to a specimen of handwriting.

One needs time to free oneself of wrong convictions.

If it happens too suddenly, they go on festering.

He needs a place where he is pitied for not having achieved anything.

He sucks at the works of others, but he never reaches their marrow.

The issue, for him, is who he is saying something wrong about, not the fact that he’s wrong.
