From the letter of Veronika Žvironaitė to Tamara:

...from the very old times, there were wise people who preached love to thy neighbour, to a human being, but there is a lack of this “humanity” everywhere and at all times: sometimes people are overcome by their bestial side which has been, which is and probably will be there for a long time until a human being fully turns into a human being. I, and you who is a lot younger than me, have tasted this “bestiality”. But somehow – and please explain me why – I do not want to pause at this hard and cruel period, return somewhere and try to understand the reasons behind those periods and their sources...

Your schoolmaster Vera Ž.
