“When you're offended by someone's wrongdoing, immediately reflect on your own faults. Remember that you, too, may think it's good to be rich, live in pleasure, or be praised. Recognizing your own errors will help you forgive others, especially when you realize they act out of ignorance and can't help themselves.”

So he manufactured ways in which other people could do it, lopping a piece at a time off himself and their family. Could it be true? Was he afraid somewhere inside that the Overlook might be just what he needed to finish his play and generally collect up his shit and get it together? Was he blowing the whistle on himself? Please God no, don’t let it be that way. Please.”
