“ I spit on your happiness! I spit on your idea of lifethat life that must go on, come what may. You are all like dogs that lick everything they smell. You with your promise of a humdrum happinessprovided a person doesn't ask much of life. I want everything of life, I do; and I want it now! I want it total, complete: otherwise I reject it! I will not be moderate. I will not be satisfied with the bit of cake you offer me if I promise to be a good little girl. I want to be sure of everything this very day; sure that everything will be as beautiful as when I was a little girl. If not, I want to die! ”

And the only thing left to do is shout — not moan, or complain, but yell out at the top of your voice whatever it was you had to say… ”
