You can't even stand to think about it yourself. What a repulsive creature you are! Constantly shedding your skin and hair, leaving your oily sweat on everything you touch. You think that you are the height of intellect in the universe, but you are no better than any filthy animal and I am ashamed to be made in your image!"

The most real people, those who are able to forget their selfish selves, who have true compassion, are usually the most distinct individuals”
