De fleste mennesker er ganske sympatisk hvis du ikke ser for mye av dem.

Engelsk:

Most human beings are quite likable if you do not see too much of them.

Del av:

In the mirror of self-flattery, I saw an image of myself as an exquisitely monstrous creature, red in tooth and claw, solitary and cruel as a hawk. Then I began to rewrite in my mind all that I had ever written about human beings or birds so as to wring all the alleged kindliness out of it and to leave it with the livelier flavour of savagery. Unfortunately, human beings do not lend themselves to savage treatment, when one is writing about them. I do not say that they are all lovable, but most of them are quite likeable if you do not see too much of them.
