He lookin’, I’m juukin’

Description

reputation is what other people know about you. honor is what you know about yourself. the friction tends to arise when the two are not the same. there is no more hollow feeling than to stand with your honor shattered at your feet while soaring public reputation wraps you in rewards. that’s soul destroying. the other way around is merely very, very irritating. guard your honor. let your reputation fall where it will. and outlive the bastards.
—Lois McMaster Bujold, A Civil Campaign (Vorkosigan Saga, #12)
