Everybody told me that I would be killed. My sister starts to cry and put me to promise that I will call her daily. Two friends organize a farewell drink. I was going to Beirut, Lebanon. A place with concrete people walking around me, about which I can not say much. All I knew in advance was that it is a dangerous place with no clarity of what it means.

Newsocracy – a conference about surviving
In my utopian world, two professional categories are voluntary: journalists and politicians. Budapest is a dirty, sad city, especially in the winter rain.

Asta-i important, duhoarea aceea; cineva care pute nu se poate bucura de prea multă simpatie, duhoarea poate orbi - cât de omenești ar fi acele mirosuri, ele de fapt estompează ideea de om făcut din carne și sânge. Asta nu-i o scuză pentru ce s-a întâmplat, însă nici nu trebuie trecut așa ușor cu vederea. Nedreptatea constă mai degrabă în faptul că și lichelele ajung pe lista victimelor nevinovate.
