- Now I watch how my father swears and turns red any time Comrade Ceaușescu appears on television or makes radio addresses explaining how România is the strongest, most independent country in the world and how we are all members of the “great socialist dream.” […] By contrast, the poems and the stories we read at school all praise our Communist government and Comrade Ceaușescu, who with his wife, the mother of all the children of România, is the father of all of us, something I have known ever since I can remember. […] “We’ll rent a few hectares of land on the western side of România from April until August, right at the border, at Oravița where the soil is good. […]”
