«Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour when every one has to throw off his mask? Do you believe that life will always let itself be mocked? Do you think you can slip away a little before midnight in order to avoid this? Or are you not terrified by it?

But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love, and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all.»
