>Noticing oneself is not yet observing oneself. The latter is a methodical compilation of the perceptions formed in us, which deliver material for a diary of an observer of oneself, and easily lead to enthusiasm and madness.

>Paying attention to oneself is necessary, to be sure, when one is dealing with others. But in social intercourse it must not become visible; for then it makes conversation either embarrassed or affected. The opposite of both is ease: a self-confidence that one's behavior will not be judged unfavorably by others. He who pretends as if he would like to judge himself in front of the mirror to see how the pose suits him, or who speaks as if he were listening to himself speak (not merely as if someone else were listening to him), is a kind of actor.

What do you think? I think it's actually pretty good.

You can mock the guy for the content of his work, but still. He wrote 400+ pages, that more than most of us can say.

Thats because most of us are more concerned with quality than quantity.
