"Poate cel mai profund eroism consta in a rezista o zi in plus atunci cind toate conditiile din jurul tau concura sa dispari. Iar detinutii politici romani au practicat acest eroism in fiecare zi, pentru multi ani la rind. De aceea, avem nevoie sa meditam. empatic la ceea ce a insemnat viata in penitenciarul comunist pentru a nu se apropia de intelegerea tariei de care au dat dovada oamenilor inchisi alegind sa nu renunte niciodata la speranta." (Clara Mares)
