Who said “The terrible fluidity of self-revelation.”?

“What is interesting about self-analysis is that it leads nowhere -- it is an art form in itself.”

“The mind can weave itself warmly in the cocoon of its own thoughts, and dwell a hermit anywhere.”

“Self-revelation is a cruel process. The real picture, the real ''you'' never emerges. Looking for it is as bewildering as trying to know how you really look. Ten different mirrors show you ten different faces.”

“But when the self speaks to the self, who is speaking? The entombed soul, the spirit driven in, in, in to the central catacomb; the self that took the veil and left the world -- a coward perhaps, yet somehow beautiful, as it flits with its lantern restlessly up and down the dark corridors.”

“The man whose whole activity is diverted to inner meditation becomes insensible to all his surroundings. If he loves, it is not to give himself, to blend in fecund union with another being, but to meditate on his love. His passions are mere appearances, being sterile. They are dissipated in futile imaginings, producing nothing external to themselves.”

“The fatal futility of Fact.”

“In art economy is always beauty.”

“Deep experience is never peaceful.”

“The time-honored bread-sauce of the happy ending.”

“Cats and monkeys; monkeys and cats; all human life is there.”

“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
