Happy are those who discover

Happy are those who discover that it is not necessary to answer when they are addressed, that it is not necessary to pay attention to those who demand it, that it is not necessary to bow down to the theater of convenience and become a slave to this social game. Happy are the misanthropes, the brutish cave-dwellers, the hermits, the pilgrims, the rebels, and all those who are repugnant to socializing!—for happiness, after all, is not to be a wretch.
