"anything seemed possible, likely, feasible, because I wanted everything to be possible… because I had no power to make things happen outside of me in the objective world, I made things happen within. because my environment was bare and bleak, I endowed it with unlimited potentialities, redeemed it for the sake of my own hungry and cloudy yearning."
