Е, добре, накрая ми хрумна една идея. Когато вече не издържате, правете като мен: мислете си за свободните слонове, препускащи през Африка, за стотиците и стотици прекрасни животни, на които нищо не може да се опре - нито една стена, нито една ограда от бодлива тел, - които преминават огромни открити пространства и трошат всичко по пътя си, и събарят всичко - докато са живи, нищо не е в състояние да ги спре - каква свобода, а! И дори когато вече не са живи, знае ли човек, продължават навярно да препускат другаде все така свободно. Така че, започне ли да ви измъчва клаустрофобията, бодливата тел, железобетонът, пълният материализъм, представете си стада слонове на свобода, проследете ги с поглед, не се откъсвайте от тях, от техния бяг и ще видите, веднага ще ви стане по-добре...
This was what he stood for: a world where there would be room enough even for such a mass of clumsy and cumbersome freedom. A margin of humanity, of tolerance, where some of life’s beauty could take refuge. His eyes narrowed a little, and an ironic, bitter smile came to his lips. I know you all, he thought. Today you say that elephants are archaic and cumbersome, that they interfere with roads and
telegraph poles, and tomorrow you’ll begin to say that human rights too are obsolete and cumbersome, that they interfere with progress, and the temptation will be so great to let them fall by the road and not to burden ourselves with that
extra load. And in the end man himself will become in your eyes a clumsy luxury, an archaic survival from the past, and you’ll dispense with him too, and the only thing left will be total efficiency and universal slavery and man himself will disappear under the weight of his material achievement. He had learned that much behind the barbed wire of the forced labor camp: it was our education, a lesson be was not prepared to forget.
