"People play with words. Just like children with toy blocks. But words are more dangerous than dice. You can't collect them and put them in the chest if the game goes wrong. The words remain forever where we placed them in the mood of the first moments. They are invisible and intangible, and therefore the wrong we have done to them cannot be corrected. People play with words incredibly lightly.

""Az emberek játszanak a szavakkal. Úgy éppen, mint a gyermekek a játékkockákkal. Csakhogy a szavak veszedelmesebbek, mint a játékkockák. Nem lehet összeszedni őket, és elrakni a ládába, ha rosszul sikerült a játék. A szavak örökre ott maradnak, ahová az első pillanatok hangulatában helyeztük őket. Láthatatlanok és megfoghatatlanok, és ezért nem lehet kijavítani a hibát, amit elkövettünk velök. Az emberek hihetetlenül könnyelműen játszanak a szavakkal."
