It is my PRIDE, my damned, native, unconquerable Pride, that plunges me into Distraction. You must know that 19 -- 20ths of my Composition is Pride. I must either live a Slave, a Servant; to have no Will of my own, no Sentiments of my own which I may freely declare as such; -- or DIE -- perplexing alternative! - Thomas Chatterton
