"No longer does he accept miseries and disasters with the stoicism of a cow standing in the rain." "He has come to feel, that he deserves justice and a degree of consideration as an individual." "Where in the past he was passive, modern man has become reactive, therefore even a person nauseated by life, ...the potential suicide, doesn't only think of a quiet escape through the backdoor." "Cheated by life, this creature is trying to give a final signal, to give its life a post- humous meaning by its way of dying." "The frustration about its own existence and its neglect by a callously progressive society manifests itself in this universal act of vengeance." "The Amok-suicide seems to aim at all those who always ignored him." "For once HE is making history he is standing in the limelight and finally people are interested in his biography." "He escapes a "dead" life into a "living" death, ...knowing that, at least for a few days, he will have the almost undivided attention of the general public." "This absurd hope is probably more authentic and genuine than his whole virtually non-existent life before." "He, the "motiveless-mass-murderer" is the martyr of Post-modernism." "Saturday" "Now, reel two." "There is some light showing" "Reel three is next." "Now, the camera in the back" "Sunday" "This is the king of death... he makes people want to die."
