It's not just like I have a hangover in the weekend. . . the girl didn't show up or something like that. It isn't that.

Alain de Botton

He was a volatile mixture of confidence and vulnerability. He could deliver extended monologues on professional matters, then promptly stop in his tracks to peer inquisitively into his guest's eyes for signs of boredom or mockery, being intelligent enough to be unable fully to believe in his own claims to significance.
