"Друг мой, задумьıвался ли тьı над тем как оно к нам приходит - то, что должно случиться? А оно приходит не сразу, постепенно созревая в круговерти сошедшего с ума ежедневия, переполненного ложью, абсурдом и преступлениями. Созревая, оно наливается неизбежностью, напирает изнутри себя в ничего не подозревающую явь и может неожиданно прийти сначала именно к тебе, через твою фантазию о будущем, потому, что ему нужьı вестоносцьı. Оно ищет таких как тьı, пожелавших остаться независимьıми, когда уже все вокруг принимают ложь за сущую провдю, абсурд за норму и не замечаюъ преступлений."
