    “Daniel stood staring at his friend. Simon had lost his senses altogether. “Safe? Jesus has put you all in danger!” Simon’s voice was steady. “Jesus has taught us that we must not be afraid of the things that men can do to us.” “Suppose they put chains on all of you and drag you off to prison?” “He says that the only chains that matter are fear and hate, because they chain our souls.

    “I never knew it before but now I know—and you, too, know—that laughter may be of different colors, Laughter is but a distant echo of an explosion within us; it may be the echo of a holiday—red, blue, and golden fireworks—or at times it may represent pieces of human flesh exploded into the air.…”
