"When you are possessed by a selfish feeling - joy, triumph, pleasure, hope or terrible pain, anger, anger, fear, suspicion, jealousy - then know that you are in the clutches of the devil. It doesn't matter how you got there. You must escape. How? Anyway.

""Când sunteți stăpânit de un sentiment egoist - bucurie, triumf, voluptate, speranță sau durere cumplită, supărare, furie, teamă, suspiciune, gelozie -, atunci să știți că sunteți în ghearele diavolului. Nu mai contează cum anume ați nimerit acolo. Trebuie să scăpați. Cum? Oricum."
