Dark Tunnels

 * "I do not tolerate light. Many years ago my skin had turned transparent. I close my eyes, but the darkness does not come. In order to sleep, I was forced to blindfold my eyes. My legs have withered away. And now for over half of my life, I have been crawling... like a skull... or like a snake. A long time ago in this world, when there were sides of light, there lived a society in Siberia that believed in Zhabdar... A grand snake that guards the kingdom of the dead souls. I took upon its name for myself. When you live so many years in total darkness, you begin to see things within it that are beyond the understanding of ordinary people."
 * "When you spend so much time in the darkness, you begin to see yourself from within... I see my heart (heartbeat) and can stop it at any second. I would rid (free) myself from my suffering, but by doing so, I would condem my people."
 * "I know that you are a good person... Know that you believe in pure ideals. That you want to save the world. The world is cruel, but you want to save everyone so that those dear to you can survive. You are a good person. Thinking about the old philosopher (Peter Kropotkin); the books of which you love so much. He preached about a new world with a fair and wonderful society. Did not preach... He imagined (philosophized) it. He himself was a good person, but some thugs used his ideals. Do you think his teachings will ever be able to change people (humankind)? But there is one problem... Not everybody wishes to believe in the same (ideals) that you believe in. Sometimes you are made to force (people). Sometimes you are made to kill (people). Happens to cut out, with entire families for ideals. Idealists can be no different than bandits. Be careful down this path."
 * "I see the reality, but the future is uncertain. You will recieve unexpected help, but do not think that by the death of this person (Korbut), that you will change the world for the better. A hydra has many heads and new ones will grow."
