     Netajím však, že sme si akísi ďalekí. Zdá sa, že mladých naučili posledné roky hľadieť na život hrdinsky, nás to odučili.

     I make no secret, however, that we are somehow distant. It seems that the young have been taught to look at life heroically in recent years, we have been taught not to.
