I am suspicious of guilt in myself and in other people; it is usually a way of not thinking, or of announcing one's own fine sensibilities the better to be rid of them fast.

Fashions in sin change.

Success isn't everything but it makes a man stand straight.

Was it always my nature to take a bad time and block out the good times, until any success became an accident and failure seemed the only truth?

People change and forget to tell each other.

I'm good at embroidery. It's what I always wanted to do.... Yep, instead of whoring, I just wanted to do fancy embroidery.

For every man who lives without freedom, the rest of us must face the guilt.
