Yes, and even for the past...that it will turn out to have been all right for what it was. Something I can accept. Mistakes made by the self I had to be or was not able to be.

People who read me seem to be divided into four groups: twenty-five percent like me for the right reasons twenty-five percent like me for the wrong reasons twenty-five percent hate me for the wrong reasons twenty-five percent hate me for the right reasons.

Both T.S. Eliot and I like to play, but I like to play euchre, while he likes to play Eucharist.

The style is the man. Rather say the style is the way the man takes himself and to be at all charming or even bearable, the way is almost rigidly prescribed. If it is with outer seriousness, it must be with inner humor. If it is with outer humor, it must be with inner seriousness. No other way will do.

The sister's face Fell all in wrinkles of responsibility. She wanted to do right. She'd have to think.
