One should let one's nails grow for a fortnight. O, how sweet it is to drag brutally from his bed a child with no hair on his upper lip and with wide open eyes, make as if to touch his forehead gently with one's hand and run one's fingers through his beautiful hair.

Was not Hypatia the greatest philosopher of Alexandria, and a true martyr to the old values of learning?

They could not argue with her, so they murdered her.
