Er / He Geschmeichelt / Flattered Liebt / Loves Schmeichler / Flatterer Würdig / Worthy
Balthazar Balsan is not a self-portrait. If he was, I'd have made the character more flattering.
My father was not prone to worship, but he worshiped Arthur Sulzberger.
A fictionalised memoir of my father would be a failure as a novel.
The fact is that people are attracted to new work and by new work.
Every flatterer lives at the expense of him who listens to him.
Nobody lives forever and I've had a blessed life.
He travels the fastest who travels alone.
Fair and softly goes far.
The head writer loves that my character is a boor.
