"I am no lover of disorder and doubt as such. Rather do I fear to lose truth by this pretension to possess it already wholly."

But it was not the room’s disorder which was frightening; it was the fact that when one began searching for the key to this disorder, one realized that it was not to be found in any of the usual places. For this was not a matter of habit or circumstance or temperament; it was a matter of punishment and grief.
