Verrückt, aber weise.Gefangen, aber frei.Physiker, aber unschuldig! - Friedrich Dürrenmatt

Romulus: It is much more difficult to be loyal to a human being than to remain loyal to a state. Rea: It's my country, not just a state.
Romulus: Every state calls itself "country" or "nation" when it is about to commit murder.
Rea: Our unconditional love for our country was what made Rome great.
Romulus: But it did not make Rome good. We nurtured a beast with our virtues. We became drunk on the greatness of our country, but what we loved has now turned into gall and wormwood.

Wir lagen beisammen unter der Erde, eingehüllt in ihre warme Dunkelheit, uns nicht mehr fürchtend, und von der Ecke her, wo der Mann auf seiner Matratze schlief, lautlos wie ein Toter, starrten uns die gelben Augen des Hundes an, runde Scheiben zweier schwefligen Monde, die unsere Liebe belauerten.
