And telling yourself that it's okay to run way from him to be alone just because I'm alone and okay with it, is bullshit. I'm alone because I just am. You're alone because you made a choice. And it's the wrong fucking choice."

He has supreme vanity. No matter how much he admires the old writer, he wants to beat him."
