William A. Henry III Quotes:
Ocupation: Critic
Life: January 14, 1950 - June 28, 1994
Birthday: January 14
Death: June 28
One's worth and self-regard ought to come from individual competitive performance, not from group identity. Pride based on clan or tribal connections is atavistic. It appeals to people who fear they cannot succeed as individuals, and by diverting their energies it all but ensures they will not succeed as individuals.
