• Here's what I think I'm having trouble with: this is what happiness is. When I was a kid, I thought I'd just get happier and happier as I got older, and have more things to be happy about. I based this theory on observation of select adults. The problem with my results is that I couldn't tell the difference then between happy and fake-happy. Now I know you pretend to be just frigging ecstatic over everything, maybe because you're so glad it's not worse.

• Se me ocurre preguntarme: ¿creo en algún dios, o incluso positivamente no creo, como hace James? Creo en sistemas y métodos. Creo en las bellezas de la filosofía y la poesía. Creo que el trabajo que hacemos y dejamos atrás es nuestra vida después de la muerte; y creo que la historia miente, pero a veces tan bien que no puedo resentirme. Creo que la verdad es belleza, pero no, me temo, al revés. No parece suficiente para sostenerse en los momentos rigurosos de la vida. Tal vez abrace el Islam. Sus estándares para la poesía parecen muy altos.
