A lot of people have no access to beauty. When I was growing up, my mother had only a few pretty things to look at.

For days on end, I would hardly speak, and when I did only the vilest sort of gibberish would spout forth. I became morose and fat. Unapproachable, except when eating - and then only by waiters.
