“the holiest place on earth is where an ancient hatred has become apresent love.”
“It is true that I am a person with black pockets of evil and hatred in my heart. There are underground places inside of me”
“I never wanted to be away from the family. Intuitively, I knew how easily distances could harden and become permanent.”
“I wanted to find a place to hide from all of it, where the nightmares and the rivers and reality couldn't find me. For me, that place was always inside a book.”
“[I]n a place with absolutely no private or personal life, with the incessant worship of a mediocre career-sadist as the only culture, where all citizens are the permanent property of the state, the highest form of pointlessness has been achieved.”
