“Mankind has been like that throughout history. In today’s society, people use those qualities—I call them qualities—for all things. It is for self-gratification. It is for sex. It is for excitement. This kind of fervor serves its own purpose. It doesn’t obey rules. It runs amok. You see it on the news every day, but society cannot hang it’s moral and ethical values on me to survive. i do what I must in all ways, and I’m proud of it. The necessity to be myself passes all moral barriers.”
