„Моята пияна от бира душа е по-тъжна от всички мъртви коледни елхи на света.“Когато един луд не може да бъде разбран от другите луди, той просто си остава един неразбран луд. Когато един пощенски служител се проваля заради неимоверните количества алкохол, които е погълнал предишната вечер, той става журналист, а в най-лошия случай — писател. Когато на един човек белите дробове не вършат никаква работа, а черен дроб той просто няма, не му остава нищо друго, освен да използува мозъка и въображението си. Пълна физическа разруха. Няма дух, няма тяло, душата е тленна отсянка на нашето мрачно битие. Животът трябва да се убива бавно, съзнателно, всеки ден, всяка минута, като мръсна бутилка от долнопробен скоч. Съдбата трябва да бъде проигравана на комар — методично и целенасочено до момента, в който подобно на Оруел възкликнеш: 2+2=5.

Any one who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eyes are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind's eye, quite as much as of the bodily eye; and he who remembers this when he sees any one whose vision is perplexed and weak, will not be too ready to laugh; he will first ask whether that soul of man has come out of the brighter life, and is unable to see because unaccustomed to ...

And he will count the one happy in his condition and state of being, and he will pity the other; or, if he have a mind to laugh at the soul which comes from below into the light, there will be more reason in this than in the laugh which greets him who returns from above out of the light into the den.—Plato,

В каждом переулке — щебет птиц, затаенное ликование. А на площадях и бульварах рокочет, струится, шумит привольная, веселая жизнь прекрасного, беспечного города. Туристы всех национальностей разъезжают в небольших, медленно движущихся пролетках, безразлично-любопытным взглядом всматриваются в дома или подымаются по широким ступеням музеев....
