Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit
“Experience
was of no ethical value. It was merely the name men gave to their mistakes.
Moralists had, as a rule, regarded it as a mode of warning, had claimed for it
a certain ethical efficacy in the formation of character, had praised it as
something that taught us what to follow and showed us what to avoid. But there
was no motive power in experience. It was as little of an active cause as
conscience itself. All that it really demonstrated was that our future would be
the same as our past, and that the sin we had done once, and with loathing, we
would do many times, and with joy.”

You may not believe it, but he made mistakes often.'

'Why?' She choked around her tears.
Mithorden:

“And
now, for something completely the same:
Wasted
time and wasted breath,
's
what I'll make, until my death.
Helping
people 'd be as good,
but
I wouldn't, if I could.
For
the few that help deserve,
have
no need, or not the nerve,
help
from strangers to accept,
plus
from mine a few have wept.
Wept
from joy, or from despair,
or
just from my vengeful stare.
Ways
I have, to look at stupid,
make
them see I am not Cupid.
Make
them see they are in error,
for
of truth I am a bearer.
Most
decide I'm just a bear,
mauling
at them, - like I care.”

“After
Carol had left, as Symons threw away a pile of used tissues and rearranged the
cushions on the couch, he remarked that the most common and unhelpful illusion
plaguing those who came to see him [as a career counselor] was the idea that
they ought somehow, in the normal course of events, to have intuited--long
before they had finished their degrees, started families, bought houses and
risen to the top of law firms--what they should properly be doing with their
lives. They were tormented by a residual notion of having through some error or
stupidity on their part missed out on their true 'calling.”

looked so much like me, I could tell that he saw it, too, we shared the smile
of recognizing ourselves in each other, how many imposters do I have? DO we all
make the same mistakes, or has one of us gotten it right, or even just a bit
less wrong, am I the imposter?”
