According to Naim, a person can tell exactly what I’m thinking by the look on my face. I think that’s rather thoughtful of me.
“Now, even to me, it seemed ridiculous to concede that I had accumulated substantial debt and a few degrees so that I might contractually labor for the sake of having two free days a week in which to cook a meal in a kitchen I could not actually afford to own, for a small crowd of people my age who spent their lives do- ing the same”

“Estimem la ciutat dels beocis i volem que sigui eterna, a desgrat dels pressentiments de Tirèsias, el qual mou, pesarós, el cap i ens prediu que serà destruïda. Però ell és cec i, encara que expert en el crit i el presagi dels ocells, ignora la claror de les estrelles. Prou comprenem, tan bé com l’endeví, que cal sepultar i perdonar, que cal procurar de complir la llei moral, aquesta flameta, dèbil, vacil.lant, tanmateix inapagable. Mai no pararíem de mostrar el sacrifici de la princesa, la lliçó del seu alt exemple. Però, criminosa com és, estulta, turbulenta i rica de males riqueses, que Tebes no sigui, en càstig, destruïda. Perquè hi ha la font, el cel, el riu de tots i pobres beocis que no en tenen gens la culpa.”

“Passionate—that means to live for the sake of living. But one knows that you all live for sake of experience. Passion, that is self-forgetfulness. But what you all want is self-enrichment.”
