“There is a sort of light surrounding Abel, something pure and strong radiates from him no matter where he is or what he's doing. Sometimes Cain thinks he possesses a soul without shadows. That's what people want to be close to. But if so, it's not like a child's, for a child's soul is delicate, its flickering flame needs no more than the opening of a door onto the world to blow it out. Nothing can destroy Abel's light. In his presence one never feels wicked, only foolish. That darkness which in solitude can seem so powerful, occasionally even intoxicating, seems risible in his company.”

“Samoća nije živeti sam, samoća je kad nismo sposobni da pravimo društvo nekome ili nečemu što se nalazi duboko u nama, samoća nije usamljeno drvo nasred puste ravnice, to je rastojanje između skrivenih sokova i kore, između lista i korena. Vi bulaznite, sve to što pominjete međusobno je povezano, nema tu nikakve samoće, U redu, pustimo sad drvo, nego se zagledajte u sebe, i naći ćete samoću, Kao što reče onaj drugi, hodati usamljen kroz gomilu, Još gore od toga, biti usamljen tamo gde ni nas samih nema, Danas ste užasno raspoloženi, Imam i ja svoje loše trenutke, Nisam ja govorio o toj samoći, nego o drugoj, onoj koja nas prati, podnošljivoj, onoj koja nam pravi društvo, Čak i nju ne možemo uvek da podnesemo, vapimo za nečijim prisustvom, nekim glasom, a ponekad taj isti glas i to isto prisustvo služe jedino zato da učine samoću još nepodnošljivijom.”
