Quotes by Szilárd Borbély (?)

“Mert nekik mindenki zsidó, aki nem ott hal meg, ahol született. Aki el fog menni közülük, azon megérzik, hogy más. Aki nem olyan, mint ők, azon érzik az idegenszagot. Csak a magukfajtáját viselik el. Aki elmegy, az áruló. Aki másmilyen, az is. És aki más akar lenni, az is. Mindenkit zsidónak tartanak, aki használja az eszét. Aki okosabb náluk: az zsidó. Ha észreveszik egy gyereken, hogy okos, akkor pálinkás kenyeret adnak neki. Cukrozott borral itatják, hogy elbutuljon. Hogy ne hagyja el a szüleit öregkorukra. Hogy megmaradjon a faluban. Hogy egész életében csak a kocsmáig merészkedjen el. Mert mindenkit gyűlölnek, aki nem olyan, mint ők. Aki gondolkodik. Aki spekulál. Aki mást akar. Akinek csillag van a homlokán", mondja anyám.”

“Vannak pillanatok, amikor az ember okosabb, és tisztábban lát, mint korábban valaha. Vagy később bármikor. Okosabb annál, mint milyen okos egyébként. Egyszerűen kinyílik a füle és felnyílik a szeme, mintha hályog esne le róla, és belelát a sors rejtelmeibe. Belelát, de nem fogja fel. Csak megsejt valamit abból, amiről pontosan tudja, hogy ez bizony így van. Ennyi volt.”
― Szilárd Borbély, The Dispossessed
