“Kartais atsimenu savo kūdikystę ir jaunystę, visą tą laiką, praleistą pas tėvus, visus tuos žmones, su kuriais gyvenau, visus atsitikimus, kurie jau niekados niekados nebesugrįš — visuomet turiu įspūdžio, kad tai tebūta vien sapno. Praėjo, pražuvo, išsiblaškė be pėdsako. O žinau, kad ir dvasios srityje, lygiai kaip ir materijos srityje, niekas nežūva. Pėdsakas paliko mano sieloje — bet ir sapnas palieka ten pėdsaką.”
