The ultimate disappointment? When the illusion that one is free of illusion reveals itself as such. (The most oppressive manoeuvre of vanity: making oneself out to be more stupid and bad than one would like to be in order to indulge the vanity of not being vain. Fails miserably.)
[...]
One should begin at long last to speak out against oneself! One should begin!! One!! (For a long time now I have, in quiet hours, been spitting on my own head ... Oh, I don't give a damn about ... Yes, about what? ...)
