“Babamın gösteriş merakı... burjuvanın aristokratça gösteriş merakı!.. Ne soy!.. Hani yalnız zenginliklerini değil, iyi yaşam alışkanlıklarını, konfora ve her şeyin iyisine düşkünlüklerini de bir üstünlük sayıyorlar! Bu kişisel bir meziyet oluyor onlar için! Öyle bir meziyet ki birtakım sosyal haklar kazandırıyor kendilerine! Ve bundan ötürü başkalarının gösterdiği saygıyı en tabii hakları olarak görüyorlar! Otoritelerini ve başkalarını köleleştirmelerini de!..”
