“I don’t dislike life the way you seem to do. But then you may be a fish out of water. I’m not. I’m where I want to be, doing what I want to do. But even so, there’s nothing wonderful about it. Most of the time it’s like – let’s say – living with a lion. One day you can make it jump through hoops, or even ride on its back. But get careless, make a wrong move, and it’ll have you in a corner and be tearing an arm off.”
