““Jos kaiken aikaa täytyy varoa olemasta eri mieltä keskustelukumppaninsa kanssa, tuntuu kuin loppujen lopuksi olisi aivan yksin. But such a man there cannot be; and if I found myself seated opposite to one, whom (I did not know well enough) to offer the slightest contradiction to, should I not feel as if I were alone?””
