55 " But George knows he can't do that. Because, absurdly, inadequately, in spite of himself, almost, he is a representative of the hope. And the hope is not false. No. It's just that George is like a man trying to sell a real diamond for a nickel, on the street.

Dear diamonds everywhere, stop trying to go to school. The worthy will recognise your worth. "
