Quote by Hermann Bahr
As long as he deceived himself about the truth, he could blame fortune and have confidence in the future. Now the clouds of madness were closing round his mind.
Summary
This quote suggests that the person described has been living in a state of denial, avoiding the truth and instead blaming external factors like luck for their hardships. However, the realization of this self-deception is bringing them closer to a state of madness, as the enormity of their actions and their distorted view of reality begins to engulf their mind.
