I try to avoid Politico to spare myself psoriasis of the brain but so many journalists cite it that I'm forced to be aware of it no matter how big a moat I build.

Quotes by James Wolcott

Quotes by James Van Der Beek

Quotes by James Van Der Beek

Quotes by James Stewart

I don't end up playing a lot of likable characters, so I find myself living in a lot of unlikable skin. As a result of that, I don't always feel good. I get a lot more catharsis from taking pictures...

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of quotes are on the "Myself" page?
Honest, self-reflective quotes — wondering about the point of Christmas as it's become more ecumenical and secular, identifying as "a pure mathematician" rather than a computer person, and a self-deprecating but confident line about not being "extremely handsome" but able to "charm you into liking me."
Are these quotes humble or confident?
A mix of both — some show genuine uncertainty, like questioning the meaning of a holiday, while others show a confident sense of self despite modest self-assessment, like the "charm you into liking me" line. For more of that confident tone, I Am quotes is a good companion page.
Is there a quote about identity and career?
Yes — one contrasts being seen as a "pure mathematician" versus having any interest in computers, an interesting look at how someone defined themselves professionally.
What about reflections on holidays or traditions?
There's a thoughtful one about finding yourself wondering about the point of the celebration as Christmas has changed over the years — a nice example of questioning tradition rather than just following it.
How is "Myself" different from Life quotes?
"Myself" stays tightly focused on personal identity and self-perception, while Life quotes take a broader view. If you want something a little more everyday in tone, Good quotes or Like quotes are also worth a look.

There's also a yearly ritual of questioning the meaning behind a holiday celebration, showing self-reflection can be seasonal too. See Good Quotes and Life Quotes for more.
