Amid the seeming confusion of our mysterious world individuals are so nicely adjusted to a system, and systems to one another and to a whole, that by stepping aside for a moment a man exposes himself to a fearful risk of losing his place for ever. Like Wakefield, he may become, as it were, the outcast of the universe.
(Nathaniel Hawthorne, Wakefield; vgl. Über Wakefield und ähnliche Gestalten).
