"An Albanianâ€™s house is the dwelling of God and the guest.â€™ Of God and the guest, you see. So before it is the house of its master, it is the house of oneâ€™s guest. The guest, in an Albanianâ€™s life, represents the supreme ethical category, more important than blood relations. One may pardon the man who spills the blood of oneâ€™s father or of oneâ€™s son, but never the blood of a guest."

-- Ismail KadarÃ©
