Our hate is not hurting them at all, but our hate is turning our own days into a hellish turmoil.

Every new life is a new thing under the sun; there had never been anything just like it before, and never will be again. A young man ought to get that idea about himself; he should look for the single spark of individuality that makes him different from other folks, and develop that for all he is worth. Society and schools may try to iron it out of him; their tendency is to put us all in the same mold. But, I say, don’t let that spark be lost; it’s your only real claim to importance.
