"<p>I know people whose education I admire, whose wit surprises me, and yet being with them is mysteriously exhausting. And I know other kinds of people who are perhaps not particularly clever or cultured, who never say anything surprising or original, and yet after meeting them, I part from them as one who has received something.</p> <p>It seems that a man is not only his education and his wit but also a kind of current that radiates from his personality with varying strength and abundance. There are people with no current, who are always drawing the current from their environment. They are like the power thieves who, with the help of a wire, steal the electricity from the neighbor's wiring to their own room or factory, which makes their house brighter and their factory more industrious. Such people make me tired. All the time they have been talking, and in the end you, the listening companion, part from them poor and exhausted. They should be avoided.</p>"
