"It is impossible to stand upright when one plants his roots in the shifting sands of popular opinion and approval."

Previous Quote

In the second half of life, the questions become: 'Who, apart from the roles you play, are you? What does the soul ask of you? Do you have the wherewithal to shift course, to deconstruct your painfully achieved identity, risking failure, marginalization and loss of collective approval?' No small task.
