O, daca macar o singura voce m-ar imbarbata soptindu-mi ca am dreptate! Curajul si hotararea mea sunt neabatute, dar sperantele se clatina si sufletul imi sta adesea in cumpana. Sunt pe cale de a porni intr-o calatorie lunga si grea si voi avea nevoie de toata indrazneala si taria pentru a invinge restristile. Va trebui nu numai sa-i imbarbatez pe ceilalti cand vor sovai, ci uneori si pe mine insumi.
