    The basis of shame is not some personal mistake of ours, but the ignominy, the humiliation we feel that we must be what we are without any choice in the matter, and that this humiliation is seen by everyone.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    His life was a sort of dream, as are most lives with the mainspring left out.
