“When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them, for I'll have no ego to injure.”
“I know I have my faults and shortcomings, but the blow them all out of proportion!”
“That's very much on my schedule, and someday I'll try to get around to it; but if it happens, I'd like to have my ego tagging along. I want to still be me when I wake up one fine morning and have breakfast at Tiffany's.”
“There is a logic [to my reading], but I can't define it. I like reading impulsively. I collect books, I have a lot of them, but most of them I have not read yet. I'll read them when they call me from the shelf.”
“I have learned from my mistakes, and I am sure I can repeat them exactly”
“I have learned all kinds of things from my many mistakes. The one thing I never learn is to stop making them.”
