Najednom sam sasvim sâm, ali ne usamljen – sâm u poretku stvari koji samo laže da mu samoća nije strana, a koji jeste usamljen. Sve mi je postalo strano, od svega sam se odmakao. Svi su mostovi srušeni, stojim na nasipu svemira gde je crvena boja dana koji dolaze, sa krajnjim odredištem u crnoj.”

On the contrary, I believe a unique core self is born into every human being; the result of millennia of environment and heredity combined in an unpredictable way that could never happen before or again.”
