For two years I have lived outside the world: in a dream world. One by one, I let each strand tying me to the world and to my fellow men be cut. I live entirely for the mind, for the heart not at all …. I turned myself into a bear, inside and outside … other people did not exist for me. For perhaps two years, I didn't laugh once and I didn't cry … but I never hurt anyone but myself


Gramsci cited in Davidson, 1977, p. 70.
