Character: Andreas Corelli

Most of life we spend in sleep, especially when you are awake.

One of the negative features of the character - to give us the opportunity to play the role of victim and claim moral superiority. You need to give it all the qualities that we dare not acknowledge in ourselves, and to demonize according to our practical interests. It's basic hypocrisy. I repeat: you should carefully read the Bible. It contains answers to all the questions.
- No doubt.
- Enough to convince the bigot that he is sinless, he will begin with enthusiasm to throw rocks or bombs. And, in fact, great effort is required because persuasion is achieved through minimal inspiration and to the limited number of facts.

The sinner can be converted easily, and in the Holy never.

Why, curiously, the less a person has something to say, to the bombast and pedantry, he outlines his meager thoughts? <...> Whom they want to deceive the whole world or ourselves?

- An intellectual is, as a rule, a character who just does not have high intelligence, ' said Corelli. - He appropriates this definition, compensating for the weakness of natural abilities, which subconsciously feels. It is as old as the world, and it is true: tell me what you boast and I will tell you what you don't.

I don't trust people who claim that they have a lot of friends. It means only that they are poorly versed in others.
