It's Better To Be Nobody

Quote from a letter by Charles Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll) to Sydney Bowles May 23rd, 1891

In some ways, you know, people that don't exist, are much nicer than people that do. For instance, people that don't exist are never cross: and they never contradict you: and they never tread on your toes! Oh, they're ever so much nicer than people that do exist! However, never mind: you can't help existing you know: and I daresay you're just as nice as if you didn't.
