“If you want to identify me,” he says to the British officers who are questioning him, "ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I think I am living for, in detail, and ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for. Between these two answers, you can determine the identity of any person. The better answer he has, the more of a person he is… I am all the time trying to make out the answer as I go on living. I live out the answer to my two questions myself and the answers may not be complete, even when my life is ended I may go on working out the answer for a long time after my death, but at least it will be resolved, and there will be no further question, for with God's mercy I shall possess not only the answer but the reality that the answer was about.” (The officer rolls his eyes in despair.)
