all feelings are indeed solely gradients of love and hate;

words by themselves could be acquired without significant obstacles, but why do I think I know either how to love or to hate? I can make the correct noises - I love you, I hate you, so on, but do they really mean anything to me?

and why do I think I could eventually love a stranger when the opposite feels so natural and deeply inserted in the actual order of things?

“The rich fear workers, and the petit bourgeois panic at the thought they may become workers, because in their eyes the poor are closer to death.”

“If I had not existed, someone else would have written me, Hemingway, Dostoyevsky, all of us. Proof of that is that there are about three candidates for the authorship of Shakespeare’s plays. But what is important is Hamlet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, not who wrote them, but that somebody did. The artist is of no importance. Only what he creates is important, since there is nothing new to be said. Shakespeare, Balzac, Homer have all written about the same things, and if they had lived one thousand or two thousand years longer, the publishers wouldn’t have needed anyone since.”

— William Faulkner, in His Interview with The Paris Review
