All my life I was looking for a balance between reason and feeling, sometimes I was forced to compromise, loving judiciously, compassionate wisely, participating wisely. But with Jamie ... With Jamie I was completely different, for him I sacrificed everything, abandoned logic, forgot caution, plugged my ears so as not to hear the voice of reason.

I believe that the preference given to writers over people of active life, the general attention to scribes and their writings are proof of our errand, weakness, degeneration.
