[...]

Eu não passo de um homem vulgar que percebeu umas tantas coisas, mas não compreende tantas outras. Entre as coisas que não percebo estão a estupidez do mundo e a maldade. É de banalidades que eu vivo. A banalidade tem o dom de ser verdadeira.

[...]

As pessoas já não têm humor. O humor é um certo desapego. E quando não se quer ter desapego já não se compreende. Não se compreende nada sem desapego.

MARTIN KLIMAS

[...] Todas estas narrações sugerem que o criador do golem adquirira qualquer segredo obscuro. Contudo, ao fazê-lo, tinha transgredido a lei sagrada. Uma criatura criada pelo homem era uma blasfémia. A mera presença do golem constituía um aviso sobre a idolatria- e, assim sendo, chamava sobre si a própria destruição.

- O senhor diaria então- perguntei-lhe- que coleccionar arte é idolatria?

- Ja! Ja!- exclamou, batendo no peito.- Claro! Claro! e é por isso que nós, os Judeus....e quanto a este assunto considero-me judeu...somos tão bons nessas coisas! porque é proibido...! Porque é pecado...! Porque é perigoso...!

- As suas porcelanas desejam morrer?

Afagou o queixo.

-Não sei. É uma quetão muito problemática.

[...][...]

Teria eu agora a fineza de reflectir no facto de que Nabucodonosor aquecera a ardente fornalha onde metera Shadrach, Meshach e Abedenago, sete vezes mais forte do que a sua temperatura normal?

- Sete vezes, estou-lhe a dizer!- Utz acenou com a mão no ar.

- Está a querer dizer-me que Shadrach, Meshach e Abedenago eram estatuetas de cerâmica?

- Podiam muito bem ter sido- respondeu-me.- Resistiram ao fogo.

- Estou a perceber- disse.- Então o senhor acha que as porcelanas são seres vivos?

-Acho e não acho- soltou uma risadinha.- As porcelanas morrem no fogo e, depois, renascem.

O forno, tem de compreender, é o Inferno. [...]
