“It is the truth, a force of nature that expresses itself through me—I am only a channel—I can imagine in many instances where I would become sinister to you.
For instance, if life had led you to take up an artificial attitude, then you wouldn't be able to stand me, because I am a natural being.

The unconscious of people who live in an artificial manner senses me as a danger.
Everything about me irritates them, my way of speaking, my way of laughing.
They sense nature.”
