[Soaring Feather]

Sometimes people carry to such perfection the mask they have assumed that in due course they actually become the person they seem.
--W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Moon and Sixpence

[Soaring Feather]

Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.
--Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)
