"Again, I must stress that this is my reading now of what happened then. Or rather, my memory now of my reading then of what was happening at the time."
"You might even ask me to apply my ‘theory’ to myself and explain what damage I had suffered a long way back and what its consequences might be: for instance, how it might affect my reliability and truthfulness."
Fantastic 💕

I love the bluntness of his prose and its philosophical, at times also wry, tone.
Wow! That's such a brilliant line!
