Great Regulars: Though authors are touchy

about their productions and inclined to resent unfavourable criticism they are seldom self-satisfied. They are conscious how far the work on which they have spent much time and trouble comes short of their conception, and when they consider it are much more vexed with their failure to express this in its completeness than pleased with the passages here and there that they can regard with complacency.

from Daily Times: Purple Patch: Of Human Bondage --Somerset Maugham
