The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence: 'Have you ever read Proust?' he asked her.
'I've tried, but he bores me.'
'He's really very extraordinary.'
'Possibly! But he bores me: all that sophistication! He doesn't have
feelings, he only has streams of words about feelings. I'm tired of
self-important mentalities.'
'Would you prefer self-important animalities?'
'Perhaps! But one might possibly get something that wasn't
self-important.'
'Well, I like Proust's subtlety and his well-bred anarchy.'
'It makes you very dead, really.'
