Inside somewhere maybe I was screaming and weeping and howling like an animal, but that was another person deep inside, another person who had no access to the lips and face and mouth and head, so on the surface I just shrugged and smile and kept moving.

It's despair that perfectly normal young men can be made vicious and evil because they've won a lot of money. And then do what you've done to me."
