"And how did Marcelo think?
Against himself, always against himself [...].
They train us for so long to be stupid and finally it becomes second
nature to us, Marcelo would say [...]. The first
thing that we think is always mistaken, he would say, it's a conditioned
reflex.

One must think against oneself and live in the third person."

From the english translation of "Respiracion Artificial" by
Ricardo Piglia.
