The Glamour Quotes

“We all make fictions. Not one of us is what we seem. We rearrange our memories to suit our present understanding of ourselves, and not to account accurately for the past. When we meet other people we try to project an image of ourselves that will please or influence them in some way . . . The urge to rewrite ourselves as real-seeming fictions is present in us all: in the glamour of our wishes we hope that our real selves will not become visible.”
― Christopher Priest, The Glamour
