blood on the white coat

"I don't like those naive people who graduate with high grades and important academic majors, but they don't listen to music, don't know a single poet, have never watched a movie, or attempted to write a poem, or mix a box of paints to paint a picture. I don't understand those people who have no personal rituals, no habits, no details, who don't care about the color of buttons or the wood of seats and are satisfied with any hot red liquid without stopping at the type of tea. Life is in the details, in the feelings, in the taste, in the meaning of nodding your head in sadness, joy, or rapture at a verse from an old song, or being moved by the scent of jasmine wafting from an old street toward the first roundabout."
