There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.

Finally, the book gets a mention in your blog. Quite long,eh?
ReplyDeleteI read it only recently, that is why. Though I have had it with me for quite some time (courtesy a friend who has a thing for postcards).
ReplyDeleteHe was expecting the quotes to be put up here, long back.
ReplyDeleteAh, but my 'anonymous' friend, this is Oscar Wilde we are talking about. One could very well quote the entire book and still fail to capture his wit. As far as the wait goes, I read in spurts. This recent 'reading binge' came, and went, only a short while back. Hence, apologies.
