“The thing that give me the mos' trouble was, it didn' make no sense. You don't look for no sense when lightnin' kills a cow, or it comes up a flood. That's jus' the way things is. But when a bunch of men take an' lock you up four years, it ought to have some meaning. Men is supposed to think things out. Here they put me in, an' keep me an feed me four years. That ought to either make me so I won't do her again or else punish me so I'll be afraid to do her again"- he paused- "but if Herb or anybody else come for me, I'd do her again. Do her before I could figure her out. Specially if I was drunk. That sort of senselessness kind a worries a man.”

“მოვლენის ზუსტი განსაზღვრება და სახელდება უბრალო ილუზიაა, რამეთუ მოუქნელი და ღარიბია ადამიანის მეტყველება და ის კი არაა საქმე, აქაოდა სიტყვები არ გვყოფნის, მაგალითად სიყვარულის განსამარტადო, არამედ ის, რომ სიტყვები თავზე საყრელად გვაქვს, აი,  სიყვარული კი - არა.”
― José Saramago, The Gospel According to Jesus Christ
