Quote by Martin Amis

“I think: you deserve to be what you are if you could bare to get that way. You must have seen it coming. And now there's nothing for you here. No one will protect you, and people won't see any reason not to do you harm.”

“La libertad es la posibilidad del aislamiento. Eres libre si puedes alejarte de los hombres, sin que te obligue a buscarlos la necesidad de dinero, o la necesidad gregaria, o el amor, o la gloria, o la curiosidad, que no puede encontrar alimento en el silencio y la soledad. Si te resulta imposible vivir solo, has nacido esclavo. Puedes tener toda la grandeza de espíritu, toda la grandeza del alma: eres un esclavo noble o un siervo inteligente: no eres libre. Y la tragedia no es cosa tuya, porque la tragedia de haber nacido así no es cosa tuya, sino solamente del Destino. Ay de ti, no obstante, si la opresión de la vida, ella misma te obliga a ser esclavo. Ay de ti si, habiendo nacido libre, capaz de bastarte y aislarte, la penuria te obliga a convivir. Ésa sí es tu tragedia y la que llevas contigo.”
