You were right, it's not difficult to despise cowardice . . . So teach me, dear creature, how to think and speak. Tell me what I'm to do when people shrink from me in loathing. Teach me how I'm supposed to feel, when the only gift I have to offer is fear. No one will touch me . . . Even you screamed when you saw my face. So please tell me how to enjoy other people's happiness, when all I am allowed to give is terror.
