Shaw writes as if it were always midday.

A skyscraper is a boast in glass and steel.

We are more tied to our faults than to our virtues.

The young are amazed when they suffer.

Clouds of flavors and savors float around the thing-in-itself.

To learn a vocation, you also have to learn the frauds it practices and the promises it breaks.

I am never more myself than in my self-betrayals.
