"He just went forward, uncertain, and now completely lost. He had just been searching for something, now he was just running away. He wasn't hungry anymore, he wasn't cold, he was just afraid. One instinct superseded the other. His only thought was: escape, escape. From what? From everything. Life surrounded him with terrible walls on all sides. If he could escape the world, he would.

He just went forward, uncertain, and now completely lost. He had just been searching for something, now he was just running away. He wasn't hungry anymore, he wasn't cold, he was just afraid. One instinct superseded the other. His only thought was: escape, escape. From what? From everything. Life surrounded him with terrible walls on all sides. If he could escape the world, he would.
""Csak ment előre, bizonytalanul, s most már egészen irányt vesztve. Imént még kutatott valami után, most már csak menekült. Nem éhezett már, nem fázott, csak félt. Egyik ösztön kiszorította a másikat. Egyetlen gondolata az volt: menekülni, menekülni. Mi elől? Minden elől. Az élet szörnyű falakkal zárta körül mindenfelől. Ha szökni tudott volna a világból, megtette volna."
