* "Comrade Koba told you that we were against you and demanded your sacking from the Committee, but I promise you nothing of the sort happened and everything Koba told you was a malicious lie!

*"Does Djilas, who is himself a writer, not know what human suffering and the human heart are? Can't he understand it if a soldier who has crossed thousands of kilometers through blood and fire and death has fun with a woman or takes some trifle?"
