Quotes
Stella, she was starving.
I was playing with the silence.
There was no one to answer.
You could die of cold. You could die of hunger.
I will not die. I will not die.
Magda, my bird. My soul. I thought she was my punishment.
I'm cold. I'm so cold.
I have to see her. She's not crying.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
She is a piece of my body!
She is not a baby! She is a piece of shawl!
I wanted to die with Magda.
