What Sides

If you wish to know someone, you need only observe that on which he bestows his care, and what sides of his own nature he cultivates.

-- John Kessel (1950 -), American author of science fiction and fantasy, Events Preceding the Helvetican Renaissance (2009) in Gardner Dozois & Jonathan Strahan (eds.) The New Space Opera 2, p. 93

Thank you for this quote as a reminder, for I see that I agree with it. There is more to it than observing others, since we can observe ourselves.
