“Of all individuals, the hated, the shunned, and the peculiar are arguably most themselves. They wear no masks whatsoever in order to be accepted and liked; they do seem most guarded, but only by their own hands: as compared to the populace, they are naked.”

“أسوأ الأمور التي يمكن أن نسببها لشخص هي البكاء أمامه أو أمامها ،لهذا نحن نبكي وحدنا، نفضل أن نفعل ذلك في السر، كما لو أننا نشعر بالخزي ،في الوقت نفسه هناك على الأرجح أشياء أقل في هذا العامل أنقى من دموع ولدها الحزن، ولدتها اللوعة ، فالحضارة تقودنا في أغلب الأحيان تجاه مسارات غريبة .”
