““I lumturi eshte nje manekin i ndjenjes se jetes. Ai i ben vetem paraden e modes, por nuk e zoteron. Drita nuk shkelqen ne drite; ajo shkelqen ne erresire. Gezuar per erresiren! Kush ka ndenjur nje here ne mes te shtrengates, atij s'i hyn me ne pune nje makine e vogel elektrizimi. Mallkuar qofte shtrengata! Bekuar qofte kjo cikez jete qe kemi! Dhe sepse e dashurojme, s'duam ta japim me kamate! Duam ta shkaterrojme! Pini, djema! Ka yje qe ndricojne cdo nate, megjithese kane plasur para dhjete mije vjetesh drite! Pini, sa eshte koha!””
