      Jsem si moc dobře vědom toho, že v zemi, kde se ideozločin trestá, je pro spisovatele, který chce zůstat sám sobě věrný a který se snaží vyjádřit hlubší pravdu, psaní samo o sobě výrobou důkazů.
      I am too well aware of the fact that in the country where thoughtcrime is punished, writing itself means a production of proofs against the writers who want to be faithful to themselves and who try to express deeper truth.
