What do you think of this quote from the novel The Secret History?

[1stranger]

Says that ownmind is responsible for his/her actions.
Wants to listen to own soul/heart/conscience, but cannot.
A gentle, soft and very closed, intense psychological expression... like a confession of regret

[billyboy37]

this person is tempted by someone who is feeling the same way and pursuing the writer but the writer is married, doing great and won't screw it up and proud of it.. but its hard

[EmbraceThePain]

To me, it means that this person can occupy or entertain multiple predispositions, he/she is more inclined or prefers a more singular, focused, or specialized path.

[Iuse2hands]

I haven't read the book.
There is a lot being said with a little.

The short version... I can keep up/hold my own with/against the best of them, but I prefer to go about it my way for what I want.

[TadCurious]

What's interesting to me is that the speaker is locating his or her Classical mind in his or her heart. That's an unusual formulation.

I think it is a romantic type quote in and of itself. It shows he has a healthy balanced mind

[Jerre]
