“Patronage of Negation

I am constantly confronted by other people’s works
That I could have created myself.
And I am constantly disappointed by them.
Sadly, I have to recognize them
For what they are: inferior versions
Of what I could have done
If I’d been insecure enough in my abilities
To do anything.”
― John Tottenham, The Inertia Variations

“Not that you lied to me but that I no longer believe you has shaken me.”
― Nietzsche
