"My whole life I’ve been a fraud. I’m not exaggerating. Pretty much all I’ve ever done all teh time is try to create a certain impression of me in other people. Mostly to be liked or admired. It’s a little more complicated than that, maybe. But when you come down to it it’s to be liked, loved. Admired, approved of, applauded, whatever."

— David Foster Wallace - Oblivion (Good Old Neon)
