The Pequod Review:

The Passionate State of Mind is a collection of aphoristic insights, sometimes sharp and sometimes trite, along the lines of: “There are many who find a good alibi far more attractive than an achievement. For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life.”
