"I won't tell you that the world matters nothing, or the world's voice, or the voice of society. They matter a good deal. They matter far too much. But there are moments when one has to choose between living one's own life, fully, entirely, completely— or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands. You have that moment now. Choose!"
