#excerpts (I will never be consistent, so I won’t put a number in front).
"For the clear awareness he had of the nullity of his own work, he did not boast of the past; however, as in life, so also in art, he believed he was still in the period of preparation, regarding himself in his most secret interior as a powerful genius machine under construction, not yet in operation. He always lived in an expectation, not a patient one, of something that was to come out of him, fortune, success, as if the age of beautiful energies had not yet faded for him."
Italo Svevo, Senilità
