Almost a Foreign Country

Aphorisms from Almost a Foreign Country, by Manfred Wolf

  • After we die, we belong wholly to the distortions of the living.

  • Beware of those who have never caught a glimpse of their own masks and disguises.

  • Admitting a vice doesn't turn it into a virtue.

  • We love to categorize others as much as we hate being categorized.
