"On the other hand, I envy your ability to accept that state. I can't remember a moment in my life I haven't been driven to know, to learn, to puzzle out everything I come in contact with and find out more. Sometimes I feel I live at the mercy of the rapacious beast that is my own mind." It's a feeling he is cautious about expressing, aware that most people would take his admitting his own vast intelligence as bragging. He sees it as a disadvantage in as many ways as it is an advantage. His intelligence gets him out of trouble he would never be in if he wasn't driven to his current lifestyle.
