As I observe myself through the eyes and thoughts of those who know me, I can scant deny that I am in fact, at best, a necessity discarded; a desire inconceived...

Famous enzoisms: "he's a pentecostal converted to judaism, what principles could he possibly have?!"
"Of all his brothers and sisters, he was the prettiest."
"Paradox is what you use when you have nothing interesting to say but the truth."
"She wanted a lie. So I met her half-way."
My favourite narrative...
"...I politely accepted the "Bruderschaft," but many reasons induced me to decline his society and services. In the first place, he spoke the detestable Egyptian jargon. Secondly, it was but prudent to lose the "spoor" between Alexandria and Suez. And, thirdly, my "brother" had shifting eyes (symptoms of fickleness), close together (indices of cunning); a flat-crowned head, and large ill-fitting lips; signs which led me to think lightly of his honesty, firmness, and courage. Phrenology and physiognomy, be it observed, disappoint you often amongst civilised people, the proper action of whose brain upon the features is impeded by the external pressure of education, accident, example, habit, and necessity. But they are tolerably safe guides when groping your way through the mind of man in his so-called natural state, a being of impulse, in that chrysalis condition of mental development which is rather instinct than reason."
-Sir Richard Burton, "Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Al-Madinah and Meccah"
