QUOTATION

 It is important to remember that the prison in which Gide struggled is not really so unique as it would

certainly comfort us to believe, is not very different from the prison inhabited by, say, the heroes of Mickey

Spillane. Neither can they get through to women, which is the only reason their muscles, their fists and their

tommy guns have acquired such fantastic importance. It is worth observing, too, that when men can no longer

love women they also cease to love or respect or trust each other, which makes their isolation complete.

Nothing is more dangerous than this isolation, for men will commit any crimes whatever rather than endure it.

We ought, for our own sakes, to be humbled by Gide’s confession as he was humbled by his pain and make the

generous effort to understand that his sorrow was not different from the sorrow of all men born. For, if we do

not learn this humility, we may very well be strangled by a most petulant and unmasculine pride.
