Do not let every orator and rhetorician sway you, but neither should you close yourself to every argument. The passive man lets himself be dictated to by circumstance and by his associates. The desire to leave is a desire to escape the self. The self can be escaped. Likeness is a symptom of association. Heterogeneity and homogeneity should be avoided: one should not be too like his fellows, nor too distinct.

Anna, I left you at the station.
