"For she can't swallow but she must drink." "I beg you , believe me, a little brandy and she'll be better." "I know her." "You'll see how effective it'll be." "And if it works, also give some to the others in the ward." "They would probably like it too." "These are very old people." "Try it." "Sodabottle!" "Who was that pregnant whore in the coach?" "Hello!" "What are you doing here?" "Nothing, And you?" "I've been looking for you." "And whoever you're looking for, you find." "Most of the time..." " What was Ibi Trattler like?" " Was?"

"Are you investigating now?" "And how will you start?" "I set out from the immediate and most known circumstances." "And I suspect everyone." "Set up theories and check them through and through."

"Even at night." "Don't you study?" "I do, but I'm always alone." "They handle me with care, like a wild animal." "On Sunday visits I'm on display..." "...all but get candy." "I'm never allowed around the other children." "They won't assume the responsibility for another tragedy." "I've killed, you know." "I have no father and no mother, I have no country and no God." "I have no lover in my bed, I won't be buried when I'm dead." "For three days now I didn't eat, not even a piece of bread." "My twenty years are my power" "I'll sell them to the first comer." "If no one needs my twenty years, the devil takes them, it appears." "With a pure heart." "I'll burn and loot." "If I have to, I'll even shoot." "They'll catch me and string me up, with the good earth cover me up and death-bringing grass will start growing from my beautiful pure heart."
