“but everyone is burdened by certain something and they plunge headfirst into hell.
In most cases that something is not their own will, usually it is their environment's or other people's expectations, and that leaves them no choice.
however, but the hell those who choose to burden themselves see is different, on the other side of the hell they can see something.
that thing they see might be hope or it could be just another hell.
But you will never know, unless you keep moving forward.”

“لم يأسره منطق الثالوث المجنون اذ لم يفهمه.
بل أسره شعر الدين الجديد، شيء احس به فى نخاعه؛بدت ترنيمة الأخوة الذين يجلسون في الظلمة والخوف وكأنها تجيب عن سؤال غامض ملح ،لبث يلاحق روحه الشابة ؛سؤال عن التوأمين الذين يصرخان في الغابة ،وعن ايكيمفونا الذي قتل. شعر براحة داخلية والترنيمة تتدفق الى روحه الجافة العطشى. كانت كلمات الترنيمة مثل قطرات المطر المتجمدة وهي تذوب علي حلق الأرض اللاهثة الجافة.”
