Character: Gladys Monmouth

- So you don't like our country?
- I live in it.

- I proclaim the truth of the future.
- I prefer misconceptions of the present.

- I believe in the greatness of the nation.
- It is only a relic of the entrepreneurial drive and aggressiveness.
- It is a guarantee of development.
- The decline dearer to me.
- What about art?
It is a disease.
- But love?
- An illusion.
- A religion?
- Fashionable substitute for belief.
- You are a skeptic.
- Not at all! After all, skepticism is the beginning of faith.
- Who are you?
- To define is to limit.
- Oh give me a thread!..
- Threads are cut off. And you risk getting lost in the maze.
