Quote of the Day

So true! And so encouraging! I wish I'd known this 20 years ago...

Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.

- George Orwell, Benefit Of Clergy: Some Notes On Salvador Dali (1944); [my emphasis - PH]
