i'm currently reading one of his biographies and i've really been struggling with reconciling who i was taught he was and who he actually was lol

It doesn't help that he was intensely mercurial, and that his views changed radically over the course of his life.

What a prickly soul he was!

it does sound like he was difficult, to say the least, but i do believe he was always sure he was doing the right thing. something can be said about his consistency in that regard. lol
