John Fowles. Collector (№ 18730)

You despise those who belong to the higher circles, for their snobbery, for the arrogant tone, pompous manners, right? And what do you oppose them? Small vanity, admiring themselves, that do not allow themselves indecent thoughts, unseemly acts, indecent behavior. Did you know that all the greats in the history of art, all the beautiful things in life actually is to what you consider indecent, or born of the senses, from your point of view completely indecent? Passion, love, hatred, truth.
