From Zorba the Greek
The narrative voice is that of someone who has spent his life buried amongst his books. Then his life with Zorba shows him what he has missed. Zorba is someone who has gone places and done everything that one always wants to but cannot make time for. And Zorba is so alive that along with the author, you, envy him.
Zorba tells the author about the crow:
The crow was walking straight. He had a gait of its own. Basically he walked like crows do. And then he saw the pigeon, so he tries to strut around like the pigeon. He ends up unhappy, not able to walk properly and not able to go back to his old style.
Then Zorba looks at the author and says, you are like the crow, you are all mixed up, boss.
That line stung the author.
And me.
I felt he was telling me that, because I am guilty. Of being mixed up.

Sounds like Sartre. :-) He thought his toilet seat was full of man-eating red beetles that wanted to kill him. Or something along those lines. I may have exaggerated a bit.
