Exerpt:

Δεν ξέρω αν πρέπει να προσευχηθείς ή να βροντοφωνάξεις τη διαμαρτυρία σου, αν πρέπει να μείνεις πιστός σε ότι διδάχτηκες ή να αρνηθείς τα πάντα... Γιατί ο άνθρωπος έχει μισήσει τόσο πολύ τον άνθρωπο;

Ι shut my ears not to hear, not to hear voices. But these were no longer there. They penetrated deep inside…
Έκλεινα τα αυτιά μου να μην ακούω, να μην ακούω φωνές. Μα αυτές δε βρίσκονταν πια εκεί. Είχαν εισχωρήσει βαθιά.
