Quote
“When I was young, just your age, I was very poor, I was starving. One day, I stood in front of the window. A window full of bread, there was just glass between me... and not being hungry anymore, it was so easy. So I broke it and took what I wanted. Then they caught me and put me in chains for almost 19 years. They did things to me... and I did things, there in jail. Terrible things. I became an animal. They took my dignity, they took everything from me.”
