“Every reader, as he reads, is actually the reader of himself. The writer’s work is only a kind of optical instrument he provides the reader so he can discern what he might never have seen in himself without this book. The reader’s recognition in himself of what the book says is the proof of the book’s truth.”

“Don’t allow your wounds to turn you into a person you are not.”

I’m the monster you created, don’t you see? You stirred up volatility, anger, jealousy, unspeakable bitterness and pain. You took the potential I had and twisted it into something dark, building your masterpiece with every damaging word. You didn’t like my anxiety, my wavering character, what you saw as a waste of your time. It’s funny how you hated all the things you made me.

Eventually I’ll die and become a cadaver myself and make students angry as they dig through all my fat trying to find things.
