Because you believed I was capable of behaving decently, I did.

I hope i shall never hav so much reputashun that i shan't feel obliged to be alwus civil.

Un premier exemple de dignité ainsi entendue pourrait être le simple fait de rester propre, alors même que tout pousse à l’attitude contraire : l’eau est rare ou froide ou sale, les latrines sont loin, le climat sévère. Mais les témoignages sont nombreux qui le confirment : une personne qui parvient à se tenir propre, à apporter un minimum de soins à son habillement, inspire le respect aux autres détenus (et accroît ses propres chances de survie : la morale est, ici, payante). Primo Levi affirme qu’il doit son salut à une leçon qui lui est administrée par le sergent Steinlauf, au début de sa détention : rester propre pour ne pas s’avilir à ses propres yeux. « Aussi est-ce pour nous un devoir envers nous-mêmes que de nous laver le visage sans savon, dans de l’eau sale, et de nous essuyer avec notre veste.

To hide feelings when you are near crying is the secret of dignity.

One shouldn't write one's own epitaph. I hope people will remember me as one who did her best - and who wasn't an anachronism.

I did not shit myself in Endagine McDonalds.

I had kept a straight face under worse provocation, so I trust I did well enough then.

I believe whenever I’m in the news, it should be for my work; no disrespect to anyone who has controversies. It is not my thing, and if, God forbid, any controversy was to come up, I am 100 per cent sure I will not be the one to orchestrate it.
