"'Dear Lord', he said, 'let me be like Aron. Don't make me mean. I don't want to be. If you will let everybody like me, why, I'll give you anything in the world and if I haven't got it, why, I'll go for to get it. I don't want to be lonely. For Jesus' sake, Amen.' [...] And in his mind he cried, 'Don't let me be mean.'"
East of Eden, John Steinbeck
