I used to have a handwriting. Now I just have a signature.
Bad books sell; people have bad taste. Bad books don’t sell; people prefer great books. Great books sell; after all, they are great. Great books don’t sell; they are too great to be understood. Great books sell only after their authors die. We’re comfortable with all of these clichés even though they can’t logically coexist.

What’s worse:Offending someone orlying to someone?Saying something stupid when it’s your turn,or not saying anything?Tell me which,and I’ll tell you your problem
The trouble with comparing yourself to others is that there are too many others.Using all others as your control group,all your worst fears and all your fondest hopes are at once true.You are good;you are bad;you are abnormal;you are just like everyone else
