All those categories that "one" seems to appear in are all a bit confusing. In fact there seem to be far too many pronouns alltogether. I think we should start a campaign to eliminate some of them. Let's just repeat nouns. In fact pronouns are supposed to avoid the repetition of nouns, but they are what gets repeated most of all. Unsinn!

But I think "impersonal is personal" might be a good line to use in a gangster film.
