I like old men. They can be wonderful bastards because they have nothing to lose. The only people who can be themselves are babies and old bastards. - John Updike

Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being “somebody,” to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. One can either see or be seen.

Try to understand what the author wished to do, and do not blame him for not achieving what he did not attempt.

Truth should not be forced; it should simply manifest itself, like a woman who has in her privacy reflected and coolly decided to bestow herself upon a certain man.
