“Tú siempre has entendido el porqué de mis actos. Los demás no me entienden, ni siquiera los que me odian. Ellos tienen su ideología y sus prerrogativas: con estas dos cosas lo explican todo; gracias a esto justifican cualquier cosa, el éxito como el fracaso; yo soy un fallo en el sistema, la conjunción fortuita y rarísima de muchos imponderables. No son mis actos lo que me reprochan, no mi ambición o los medios de que me he valido para satisfacerla, para trepar y enriquecerme: eso es lo que todos queremos; ellos habrían obrado igual si les hubiera impelido la necesidad o no les hubiera disuadido el miedo. En realidad soy yo quien ha perdido. Yo creía que siendo malo tendría el mundo en mis manos y sin embargo me equivocaba: el mundo es peor que yo.”
