    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Self-revelation is a cruel process. The real picture, the real “you” never emerges. Looking for it is as bewildering as trying to know how you really look. Ten different mirrors show you ten different faces.
    Shashi Deshpande (b. 1938)

    Nine out of ten matchmakers are liars.
    Chinese proverb.
