“Cross the street to avoid making aimless chitchat with random acquaintances.”
“I still love the people I’ve loved, even if I cross the street to avoid them.”
“Walk aimlessly in the streets; this is a good meditation! Walk aimlessly in the forests; this is a good meditation!”
“Killing people was far easier than making polite chitchat.”
“I avoided my own friends and acquaintances, yet the loneliness of my existence was insupportable.”
“Chitchat debases a language.”
