Marquez

this quote reminds me a lot of the song "Thieves Inna Night" by Black Star, which itself is based off of a Toni Morrison passage. Hrmmm....

"I discovered that I am not disciplined out of virtue but as a reaction to my negligence, that I appear generous in order to conceal my meanness, that I pass myself off as prudent because I am evil-minded, that I am conciliatory in order not to succumb to my repressed rage, that I am punctual only to hide how little I are about other people's time. I learned, in short, that love is not a condition of the spirit but a sign of the zodiac."

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
from "Memories of My Melancholy Whores"
