"You're obliged to pretend respect for people and instituions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization wich makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced.

That's the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilized world."
