Everything that reaches me from the home radio, letters, newspapers (...) starts a feeling process in me that is very difficult to define. This is not anger, nor is it resentment; more and more. My conscience responds to these news with some kind of frightened introspection - the deaf and cold emptiness of helplessness.
""Minden, ami az otthoni rádióból, levelekből, újságokból eljut hozzám, (...) elindít bennem egy érzésfolyamatot, amelyet nagyon nehéz meghatározni. Nem harag ez, nem is ellenérzés; több is, más is. Valamilyen megrettent befele-fordulás a válasz, amellyel e hírekre a lelkiismeretem felel -, a tehetetlenség süket és hűdött üressége."
