“An 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

"Purity is the opposite of integrity the cruelest thing you can do to a person is make her ashamed of her own complexity. The stories of our lives have no morals. Any single conclusion drawn would be false; the episodes, taken together, are untranslatable, incomparable. If we are to conclude at all, we can only conclude against conclusions."

Someone asked me once, " Would you have still tried even if you knew it wouldn't work?"
I said: "It's like this... championship game. 2 secs left on the clock. My team is down by one. I have the ball and I'm open for a jumpshot. Should I take the shot or not? If I make it, we win and celebrate. If I didn't, we lose and we go home crying. I guess I'll still take that shot. And in case I miss the shot, I'd still cry... but it feels a lot less painful knowing that at least I tried."

"There's no shame in being afraid. Hell, we're all afraid. What you gotta do is figure out what you're afraid of, because when you put a face on it you can beat it. Better yet, you can use it. Looking back on what I said all those years ago, all the hopes and dreams I had, I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure."
