Thus the knowledge of man determines not the things themselves, but their proportions, the quan∣tum of congruities and incongruities.” MenSelfQualityWorstHonestHonestyMereDetermineProportionContradictionQuantumSevereHonest ManKnavesApproximationIncongruityKnavery Author:Johann Kaspar Lavater

“You have to expose part of yourself to create a character deep enough for readers to care about. You try not to because it's hard and at times shameful, but then when you read those pages over and you see they have no life to them so you throw them away and force yourself to be more honest.
