(To Sissy.) I will not bawl you out the first night. It is against my principles, and do not be surprised that I called Ruburt a puritan for he is, a strange mixture of a complete primitive and a complete puritan, and if it were not for me he would be very solemn-faced, indeed.

(To Mack.) First of all, you are protecting the inner self very well and you have a protective attitude toward it which is good. Our friend over here deliberates, which is also good, but he does not deliberate in a dry manner, but creatively. And while he does not speak often in class, what is said in class sinks into his mind, and he uses it in his own way. He uses what is important and discards what he does not need.

(To Natalie.) You can count on your friend, and he will be there more often.

(To Ned.) The man with the eyes behind the chair—your psychological time experience was quite correct, and it should show you what you can do when you want to. He wants to do it on his own, you see.

Do not, therefore, exaggerate the situation or magnify it by imagining this feeling as affecting the other person involved. Say, “I feel this way and I must express it at this time or be honest, but he has his protection from my feelings. He is filled with the vitality of life even as I am.” But if you ignore the feeling or pretend that it does not exist, then it is repressed within you and it draws to it all those other repressed violences; minute, insignificant details, seemingly, that gain charge until they fill you and must be expressed. Then you can meet the same individual four years later when the situation is forgotten and react violently and hurt him, where harmlessly the feeling automatically and spontaneously would have been expressed.
