Frank Lloyd Wright is quoted as saying: “Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former and have seen no reason to change”. Strikes a chord. I get a lot of messages from readers of this site—most of them are friendly, but there’s always the occasional fly in the ointment. The usual complaint is about my arrogance. I tend not to reply to such messages, as I’m not sure that their authors are particularly interested in a response. However, this quotation accurately says what I have never been able to express. On a similar vein, you should read this entry in its entirety. Not a minced word for miles.
