Just wanted to post this quoted excerpt; as it inspired and affirmed me in my wobbly quest to be true to my own self. I thought it might prove inspiring to some of you as well. I can't figure out how to link to the whole, short article, but it is in today's New Yorker.

"...he often said that he was his own best company. Perhaps because he survived the war, he made a point of not doing things that he didn?t want to do, true to the sincerest instincts of his child self."

? From his article: Saul Steinberg At One Hundred, by Ian Frazier in The New Yorker magazine
