«Una cosa que había sospechado desde hacía tiempo —el absurdo del mundo— se me hizo evidente. De pronto me sentí increíblemente libre, y la misma libertad era una indicación de ese absurdo. Tomé el billete de veinte marcos y lo rompí en pequeños pedazos. Me quité el reloj de pulsera y lo empecé a estrellar contra el suelo hasta que se paró. Se me ocurrió que en ese momento, si lo deseaba, podía salir corriendo a la calle y, con vulgares palabrotas de lujuria, abrazar a la mujer que eligiera; o pegar un tiro a la primera persona que encontrara, o romper un escaparate… Eso era prácticamente todo lo que se me ocurría: la imaginación de lo ilícito tiene un alcance limitado».
