- Yukio Mishima, Confessions of a Mask

“The sociable will be happy, or almost happy with a thing, whatever it may be, from the moment they have found in their spirit a communicable and pleasing way to express it. The solitary, however, have their enjoyment or their torment of a thing in silence. They hate the clever and glittering display of their innermost problems as they hate to see their beloved too carefully dressed. This is the jealousy which all solitary thinkers and passionate dreamers feel towards esprit.”
—Daybreak, §524 (edited).
