Sim, é uma horrenda injustiça. Eu faço uma grande distinção entre as pessoas. Escolho os amigos pela aparência, os conhecidos pelo carácter e os inimigos pelo intelecto. Nunca é demais o cuidado que se põe na escolha dos inimigos. Não quero um que seja parvo. Todos eles têm uma certa intelectualidade, e, por conseguinte, todos eles me apreciam. É ser muito vaidoso? Parece-me que é sê-lo um bocadinho.
