“I never imagined that so many days would ultimately make such a small life.”
“Every dog has like me the impulse to question, and I have like every dog the impulse not to answer.”
“One of the first signs of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one willl only in time come to hate. In this there is also a residue of belief that during the move the master will chance to come along the corridor, look at the prisoner and say: "This man is not to be locked up again, He is to come with me.”

“What love we've given, we'll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.”

“I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn.”
