T.E. Lawrence Quotes

I Spent Hours Apart By Myself, Taking Stock Of Where I Stood, Mentally, On This My Thirtieth Birthday. It Came To Me Queerly How, Four Years Ago, I Had Meant To Be A General And Knighted, When Thirty. Such Temporal Dignities Were Now In My Grasp, Only That My Sense Of Falsity Of The Arab Position Had Cured Me Of Crude Ambition: While It Left Me Craving For Good Repute Among Men. This Craving Made Me Profoundly Suspect My Truthfulness To Myself. Only Too Good An Actor Could So Impress His Favorable Opinion. Here Were The Arabs Believing Me, Allenby And Clayton Trusting Me, My Bodyguard Dying For Me: And I Began To Wonder If All Established Reputations Were Founded, Like Mine, On Fraud.
