And what will be their fate?” he asked. “Forgive me master, but I am curious to know, so that my heart may prepare itself.” “Flesh without spirit,” I said. “Life without hope, the slavery of mankind-a bondage so hopeless that slaves will no longer know they are slaves. Wealth without happiness, abundance without the power to enjoy it. The death of the spirit. Mika Waltari
During my life I have seen, known, and lost too much to be the prey of vain dread; and, as for the hope of immortality, I am as weary of that as I am of gods and kings. For my own sake only I write this; and herein I differ from all other writers, past and to come. Mika Waltari

...moteris panai kat, kaip ir aistra panai kat. Jos letenls minktos, taiau slepia atrius nagelius, negailestingai susminganius iki irdies. Moteris i ties panai kat, nes katei taip pat malonu vilioti auk ir nageliais suteikti jai skausmo, tas aidimas jai niekada nepabosta. Vos aukai susmukus, kat j suda ir tipena iekoti naujos aukos. Mika Waltari
