" I'm ugly, awkward, messy and mundane without varnish. I am irritable, unpleasant for others, arrogant, intolerant and shy as a child. I'm ignorant. What I know, I learned it by then, no further action and so little! [...] But there's one thing I love more than good: it's glory. I'm so ambitious that if I had to choose between glory and virtue, I think I would choose the former. "
Leon Tolstoy
Tell me that someone as lucid and honest towards himself!
