"Di belakang surat kabar, Julian menarik ke dalam ruang batinnya di mana dia menghabiskan sebagian besar waktunya. Ini adalah semacam gelembung mental di mana dia membuktikan dirinya ketika dia tidak tahan untuk menjadi bagian dari apa yang terjadi di sekitarnya. Dari sana ia bisa melihat dan menilai, tetapi di dalamnya ia aman dari segala jenis penetrasi dari luar. Itu adalah satu-satunya tempat di mana ia merasa bebas dari kebodohan umum dari teman-temannya. Ibunya belum pernah memasukinya tetapi dari situ dia bisa melihatnya dengan sangat jelas."

--- Flannery O'Connor

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Behind the newspaper Julian was withdrawing into the inner compartment of his mind where he spent most of his time. This was a kind of mental bubble in which he established himself when he could not bear to be a part of what was going on around him. From it he could see out and judge but in it he was safe from any kind of penetration from without. It was the only place where he felt free of the general idiocy of his fellows. His mother had never entered it but from it he could see her with absolute clarity.
