“Some people have fear but some have confidence instead. Which do you have? You’re not confident, I know that. I know that, because actually no one has confidence. The most confident men and women you know—they haven’t got confidence. No one has. Everyone has fear instead. (Unless they have that third thing, which men call madness.)
“They fear they are a secret which other people will one day discover. They fear they are a joke which other people will one day see, which other people will one day get.”
—Martin Amis, Other People
