    They laughed cynically at my face, at my clumsy figure; and yet what stupid faces they had themselves.

    As the children grow up you feel that you are an example, a support for them; that even after you die your children will always keep your thoughts and feelings, because they have received them from you, they will take on your semblance and likeness.

    Why, do you suppose he really loves you, that lover of yours? I don’t believe it. How can he love you when he knows you may be called away from him any minute? He would be a low fellow if he did! Will he have a grain of respect for you? What have you in common with him? He laughs at you and robs you—that is all his love amounts to! You are lucky if he does not beat you. Very likely he does beat you, too. Ask him, if you have got one, whether he will marry you. He will laugh in your face, if he doesn’t spit in it or give you a blow—though maybe he is not worth a bad halfpenny himself. And for what have you ruined your life, if you come to think of it?

    bring me a doll to play with, give me a cup of tea with sugar in it, and maybe I should be appeased
  • Rina Madihas quoted6 months ago
    did not know how to become anything; neither spiteful nor kind, neither a rascal nor an honest man, neither a hero nor an insect.

    But of course that is because I do not respect myself. Can a man of perception respect himself at all?
  • Alexandra Lucahas quoted21 days ago
    I am not disputing that, but perhaps the normal man should be stupid, how do you know? Perhaps it is very beautiful, in fact.
  • Alexandra Lucahas quoted21 days ago
    I envy such a man till I am green in the face. He is stupid.
  • Alexandra Lucahas quoted21 days ago
    But what can a decent man speak of with most pleasure?

    Answer: Of himself.

    Well, so I will talk about myself.

    I am a sick man.... I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man.
