Under Western Eyes by Joseph Conrad
"In life, you see, there is not much choice. You have either to rot or to burn. And there is not one of us, painted or unpainted, that would not rather burn than rot.” ― Joseph Conrad, Under Western Eyes
Excellent review. I find the similarities between this book and the psychological types noted in Hoffer's true believer to be fascinating. English Literature
