Here is an apt Perlian quote (about himself) :-)
which is to his credit (that he could be so honest about himself).
1927 Frankfurt, Vienna, Berlin. More analysis, supervision. Fenichel, Deutsch, Hitschwan, Happel, etc. Became a real wisdomshitter. Confuse others.
Now why did this bit of this particular quote leap out and bite :-)
Seems that one day, perhaps, way off in the long distant future. Our resident jihadist/propagandist may just glimse how others saw him once, and in this moment of realization (should it ever happen), a sense of humility might begin to emerge.
Cheers Doug
