Soundbites
- "Somewhere, in a sparsely populated galaxy, there is a world like any other. The creatures of this world have four limbs. The two lower limbs enable them to move forward and backward, and the two upper limbs allow them to kill. . . The killers judge the killers, and the dead rise up to offer their executioners' heads to other executioners. The world is in fact a vicious circle. 'Father, I blame myself for being man.' 'I forgive you, my son.'"
- "Je m'accuse, mon père, d'avoir été un homme. -Je vous pardonne, mon fils."
