 Torless, destroyed by this inhumanity, wants to react; it was true what a local prostitute said, the "gentlemen" are the most perverse and sick of all.

 In the development of every moral force, there is a primitive stage where it weakens the soul of which it may one day be its boldest experience; almost as if its roots first had to grope and unsettle the ground that they will later support.

 Mozart! Everything is in his music, I know no one better than him who has managed to interpret the feelings of the human soul to then put them there, within heart’s reach.
