And If You Cast Down An Idol,

It Is Completely Unimportant. That Is Why It Is So Interesting.

But I Know Human Nature, My Friend, And I Tell You That, Suddenly Confronted With The Possibility Of Being Tried For Murder, The Most Innocent Person Will Lose His Head And Do The Most Absurd Things.

I Have Wanted . . . To Commit A Murder Myself. I Recognized This As The Desire Of The Artist To Express Himself! . . . But-incongruous As It May Seem To Some-i Was Restrained And Hampered By My Innate Sense Of Justice. The Innocent Must Not Suffer.

It's Like All Those Quiet People, When They Do Lose Their Tempers They Lose Them With A Vengeance.

No Sign, So Far, Of Anything Sinister—but I Live In Hope.
