"Everyone wants to be different, stand out in the crowd, in achievements, at least in fantasies. Everyone secretly dreams of discovering a little more in themselves than they really are. Everyone can easily embellish their lives and find excuses for any of their deeds. The realities of life, in which only a small part is deeds, and everything else is demagogy, beautiful tales of spiritual poverty, a stolen picture, under which there is a gap of emptiness. We all know how to be real heroes in words, while remaining just people in life. And sometimes it seems that being different, being exceptional, being chosen is happiness. But only a man who had a strange, intricate fate — to be born sighted in the world of the blind — broke all the mirrors, took a fragment and cut out his own eyes. To become like everyone else." (A. Quota. "The Word that doesn't exist")
