There follows one of the most empathetic and psychologically perceptive accounts of the traumatic aftermath of rape in any work of literature, ancient or modern –
“It is in this sense that responsibility is liberty; the more decisions that you are forced to make alone, the more you are aware of your freedom to choose.”

“Am I sure that there is no mind behind our existence and no mystery anywhere in the universe? I think I am. What joy, what relief there would be, if we could declare so with complete conviction. If that were so I could wish to live for ever. How terrifying and glorious the role of man if, indeed, without guidance and without consolation he must create from his own rituals the meaning for his existence and write the rules whereby he lives.”

“Es ben significatiu que, fins i tot força més endavant, en un context llatí, la paraula oci (otium) sigui la no marcada, mentre que la paraula «negoci» es construeixi per negació de la primera (nec-otium). El que és normal, l'opció neutra i preferent, és disposar de lleure, de vacança, de temps lliure per poder viure amb plenitud, destinant aquest temps a la contemplació filosòfica o a la divina (el vacare deo medieval: 'dedicar-se a déu'). La negació d'aquest temps de qualitat, el neg-oci, ens allunya de la vida humana plena i ens apropa a la vida instintiva, mancada de sentit des d'un punt de vista humà, a la vida dels animals que, com les abelles, s'afanyen i s'afanyen en la feina sense cap consciència de la finitud de la pròpia existència.”

“Everything is practice. Every word you write and action you take is a chance to get better.”
