Today, one of the broadcasters on Radio 4's news programmes quoted from H L Mencken. It struck me as so apt, funny, painful and in general apposite that I thought I would post it here.
"Self respect is the comfortable feeling that arises when, thus far, no one is suspicious."
I, and friends of mine, have described the feeling that what they are doing is in some way an act, and that they live, expecting to be found out.
As I said, an apposite quotation.
