Character: Emil

- About future? What do you call the future? Why should I think about something that does not yet exist? I do not look forward or backward. Isn't it hard enough to think about today?

Jan, there are no “them” and “us”, there are no “you” either, Jan. There are people. You understand, this is not about Nazis and Jews, Jan! Not about Ukrainians, Latvians, Russians who work as guards and beat prisoners. This is not about guards or prisoners in general. It's about people! I saw a Jew beat a Jew with a poker. He stood and knocked out his teeth, long and diligently. I saw a German guard solder a hidden child with bronchitis. There are no "them", "us", "you", there is a herd of people. That's all. And in this herd, whatever it goes through: wars, plague, self-destruction - in this herd one must look for good in oneself. And do good. And teach good, Jan. Don't feel sorry for yourself. Generosity and gratitude must be taught.

- Ah, if you knew my life!
- Ah! exclaimed Emile. - I didn't know you were so vulgar. Because it is cliche. Don't you know that everyone claims that he suffered more than others?

And then, you know - here it is, the dictates of beauty, and how correct. Of course, of course, beauty the companion of a divinity. And the beauty is overwhelming. At least, such beauty - beauty as a continuation of the will, when the body, the face is just a cast of the inner hitting just the ball of energy. Indeed, now I'm ready to believe - ancient Greek deity of light. Bacchus or Apollo beauty, the strength and will came.

Raul, you... you didn't see there anything strange, eh?..
- Something besides a singing monkey, sunflower and fifty meters and jars of poison? No.

I didn't want to die, I wanted never to be born.

But I think it's like I'm two people. One understands and nods. The other turns a blind eye and quietly crying. You do that now?

- You make me doubt the omnipotence of God, for your stupidity exceeds his power.
