“Min ma jifhimx sewwa l-karattru tiegħi jista' jidħak bija, jgħajjarni miġnun, stramb, bniedem b'demmu ffriżat...! Iżda b'liema jedd tkejjel lil ħaddieħor b'xibrek? L-għaliex kulħadd ipoġġi lilu nnifsu bħala r-regola u jittimbra lil dawk li m'humiex bħalu b'imġienen? Jien naf li jien differenti minn ħaddieħor, iżda b'daqshekk m'iniex miġnun. Għandi dritt infassal ħajti kif irrid jien u mhux kif ifassluha l-biċċa l-kbira tal-bnedmin!”

“It seems to me indisputably true that a good many people, the wide world over, of varying ages, cultures, natural endowments, respond with a special impetus, a zing, even, in some cases, to artists and poets who as well as having a reputation for producing great or fine art have something garishly Wrong with them as persons: a spectacular flaw in character or citizenship, a construably romantic affliction or addiction - extreme self-centeredness, marital infidelity, stone-deafness, stone-blindness, a terrible thirst, a mortally bad cough, a soft spot for prostitues, a partiality for grand-scale adultery or incest, a certified or uncertified weakness for opium or sodomy, and so on, God have mercy on the lonely bastards.”
