Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


The hint of an invincible multitude behind that man's back roused a
sombre indignation in the breast of the Professor. He smiled no longer
his enigmatic and mocking smile. The resisting power of numbers, the
unattackable stolidity of a great multitude, was the haunting fear of his
sinister loneliness. His lips trembled for some time before he managed
to say in a strangled voice:


"I am doing my work better than you're doing yours."
