Those who wear vanity and narcissism, are the most ugly of character. And should be subject to excruciating correction of their indignation.

Even in the helter-skelter skirmish that is my life, I have seen that the world is to the strong regardless of a little pigmentation more or less. No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife." "Someone is always at my elbow reminding me that I am the granddaughter of slaves.
