Quote #10

"That hair can't stand anything, it swears with hats, chair cushions, even at a wallpaper background." (29.49).

Anny seems to see the truth of Antoine's personality just by looking at his hair. She says that his hair basically swears or clashes with everything that's put near it. The same could be said of what's beneath Antoine's hair—his brain—because his thoughts seem to clash with everything around him, too. By seeing so much about Antoine in just his hair, Anny shows that maybe there's something to the idea that people's appearances reveal a lot about themselves.
