"Death is within us, just as a small child is within its mother's body. It develops just like a fetus. From death, even the strongest men become feminine - the moment they first notice that they have become fertile and have embraced death in their bodies, their facial expression changes especially. Even Mord faces will be soft; like women's faces when they find out they will have a child.

Death is within us, just as a small child is within its mother's body. It develops just like a fetus. From death, even the strongest men become feminine - the moment they first notice that they have become fertile and have embraced death in their bodies, their facial expression changes especially. Even Mord faces will be soft; like women's faces when they find out they will have a child.
""A halál bennünk van, pontosan úgy, mint egy kis gyermek az anya testében. Éppen úgy fejlődik, mint a magzat. A haláltól a legerősebb férfiak is nőiesek lesznek - a pillanatban, mikor először észlelik, hogy termékenyek lettek és magukba fogadták, testükben érlelik a halált, arckifejezésük különösen elváltozik. Mord arcok is lágyak lesznek; mint az asszonyok arca, mikor megtudják, hogy gyermekük lesz."
