after all this time, I am not afraid of speaking as myself. I realise that I hadn't before. But now I know that there is nothing else you can do: you come to a point in your life where you don't worry about how you seem to other people. That is where I am now. That really is a huge relief, getting over yourself. And I am getting over myself at last."[David] Brooks was born in Canberra in 1953 but spent his very early childhood in Greece and Yugoslavia, where his father was an Australian immigration official.
