"I've grown to appreciate John Updike more because I am now
more sympathetic to (or at least tolerant of) weakness of character,
of the sort John Updike so deftly wrote about, than I was at age
twelve. As a child, I thought that only bad people were imperfect.
Part of growing up is accepting that nobody, including yourself,
is as perfect as you wish." --
