• Don Mariano Arena : I divide humanity into five categories. There are the real men, the half men, the so-so men, and then, if you'll excuse me, the faggots, and finally, it's like they didn't exist, the gossips who are worth nothing. There are very few real men and only a few half men. The majority of men are so-so. They're like kids who think they're grown-ups. As for the queers, they're growing to become a real army. And lastly the blabbermouths. A flock of geese.
