“All my assaults use guérilla tactics and reveal the putrescent core of the secret bully.”

Dunhills honesty in this book strikes a core in me. A conversation with the inner self that is self deprecating and self effacing.

“Personally I have always found it safer to eat shit. This phrase, peculiarly apt in its redolence of the ignoble canine, refers to the policy of accepting whatever is offered and displaying sweet gratitude or regret, or a total self-abnegation in apology, whichever may seem most likely to succeed in placating the enemy.”

A great description of accepting fate and how it’s easier to ask for forgiveness.
