quotes`;

• i fel as if the intense light that shone for a mere ten or fifteen seconds a day in the bottom of the well, i burned up the very core of my life,until there was nothing left.
• is to inform that the events i recently told you about were neither a fabrication of mine nor the dubious reminiscences of an old man, but are the complete and solemn truth in every particular. as you know, the war ended a very long time ago, just memory naturally degenerates as the years go by. memories and thoughts age, just as people do. but certain thoughts can never age, and certain memories can never fade.
• well the events i've been through have been tremendously complicated. all kinds of characters have come on the scene, and strange things have happened one after another, to the point where, if i try to think about them in order, i lose track. viewed from more of a distance, though, the thread running through them is perfectly clear.
