"… Every day my accursed shrinking from realities makes it
harder for me to face the new realities … I do not like the outlines of
things to be too sharp. I like them gently blurred, a little
hazy."

"… I’m a coward … Mostly of having life suddenly become too real, of
being brought into personal, too personal, contact with some of the
simple facts of life. It isn’t that I mind splitting logs here in
the mud, but I do mind what it stands for. I do mind, very much,
the loss of the beauty of the old life I loved … Now, I know
that in the old days it was a shadow show I watched. I avoided
everything which was not shadowy, people and situations which were
too real, too vital. I resented their intrusion. I tried to avoid
you too, Scarlett. You were too full of living and too real and I
was cowardly enough to prefer shadows and dreams."

"… I suddenly found myself on the curtain,
an actor, posturing and making futile gestures. My little inner
world was gone, invaded by people whose thoughts were not my
thoughts, whose actions were as alien as a Hottentot’s."

"…I am afraid of facing life without the
slow beauty of our old world that is gone."

"I can’t make you understand
because you don’t know the meaning of fear. You have the heart of
a lion and an utter lack of imagination and I envy you both of
those qualities. You’ll never mind facing realities and you’ll
never want to escape from them as I do."

…reality…escape…
