““No,” said Keese. “I don’t want to be hateful about this, but I’m afraid I really can’t stand either one of you, alone or together. It’s as simple as that. I’m not making a moral judgment, calling you wicked or anything. I’m even willing to entertain the idea that you mean well. I’m not consigning you to perdition, but I wish you would henceforth make your way through life without involving me…. Now, that’s as nice as I can put it.”” (Thomas Berger, Neighbors)
