"Ach, in dieser rohen Welt, hat der Arme nur zu lachen für sein Geld"
Edit2: I can't get rid of the annoying feeling that I haven't understood the novel as much as I should; that I somehow missed intricate details that would make the message an even more layered one. Damn it, Dürrenmatt, for putting me into this position! In school I have always been one of the very few who understood every meaning of every novel we had to read. I'm not used to this and I really don't like it.
