1 " A man's work reveals him. In social intercourse he gives you the surface that he wishes the world to accept, but in his book or his picture the real man delivers himself defenceless. No affectation of peculiarity can conceal a commonplace mind. No one can produce the most casual work without disclosing the innermost secrets of his soul. "
― W. Somerset Maugham , The Moon and Sixpence
2 " The vain man buys to impress, but the REAL man buys to fulfil a need. "
3 " If enough people repeat the stories for long enough, Jason will become something that cannot die, but he also will have been erased, because the actions are too large and impersonal. The stories will reveal nothing about the real man who lived. "
― David Vann , Bright Air Black
