We don't understand our name at all, we don't know its history, and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.

My recollection of this period is very vague, but I know that the discovery of the self must have been intoxicating.

And at that moment everything starts to crumble. Everything starts to crumble. "
