Questionei-me quanto achariam os raptores que ele valia…
““Questionei-me quanto achariam os raptores que ele valia; quanto achariam os meus pais que eu valia e interroguei-me sobre se o valor das pessoas estava ligado a coisas como a bondade, a utilidade ou a disponibilidade para ajudar as pessoas menos afortunadas. Achei que era provável que o meu valor fosse superior quando era criança.””
