Book cover for Too Much of Life: The Complete Crônicas
As for revealing myself, that really is inevitable, not just in columns like this, but in my novels too. These are far from being autobiographical, but I find out later from my readers that I have, indeed, revealed myself in them.

Dion Fortune
“What you contemplate, you touch. What you enter into in imagination, you make yourself one with.”
Dion Fortune, Principles of Esoteric Healing

Hélène Cixous
“You can go on losing after loss.”
Hélène Cixous, Hyperdream

C.S. Lewis
“Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favorite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end submit with ever fiber of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Lewis Carroll
“And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be?”
Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

Søren Kierkegaard
“When you were called, did you answer or did you not? Perhaps softly and in a whisper?”
Soren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling
