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.

But whether I become a believer or remain an agnostic, my belief or disbelief must derive its source from within, not from without. I, myself, must create its symbols. The transcendental is that which produces its own form. I will never discover its secret if I do not find it in my own heart; if I do not possess it already I shall never be able to acquire it.

Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect - simply a confession of failure.
