"Now some of you may encounter the devil's bargain if you get that far. Any old soul is worth saving at least to a priest, but not every soul is worth buying. So you can take the offer as a compliment."

Defectul tuturor oamenilor este ca steapta sa traiasca, deoarece n-au curajul fiecarei clipe...Toti invatam sa traim dupa ce nu mai avem nimic de asteptat, iar cind traim nu putem invata nimic, fiindca nu traim in prezentul concret si viu, ci intr-un viitor fad si indepartat

Prin orice pot cadea in lumea asta, numai printr-o mare iubire nu. Iar atunci cind iubirii tale i s-ar raspunde cu dispret sau cu indiferenta, cind toti oamenii te-ar abandona si cind singuratatea ta ar fi suprema parasire, toate razele iubirii tale ce n-au putut patrunde in altii ca sa-i lumineze sau ca sa le faca intunericul mai misterios se vor rasfringe si se vor reintoarce in tine, pentru ca in clipa ultimei parasiri stralucirile lor sa te faca numai lumina si vapaile lor numai caldura. Si atunci intunericul nu va mai fi o atractie irezistibila si nu te vei mai ameti la viziunea prapastiilor si adincimilor. Dar ca sa ajungi la accesul luminii totale, la extazul absolutei splendori, pe culmile si limitele beatitudinii, dematerializat de raze si purificat de seninatati, trebuie sa fi scapat definitiv de dialectica luminii si a intunericului, sa fi ajuns la autonomia absoluta a intiiului termen. Dar cine poate avea o iubire atit de mare?

Eu stiu acum bine ce este o grota. E o inchisoare fara ziduri, unde nu e nevoie de gardieni, nu e nevoie de sirma ghimpata. Tacerea s-a dovedit un gardian mult mai constiincios. Ea nu poate fi nici corupta, nici escaladata. Ea nu doarme si nu poate fi taiata cu clestele. Si cine vede tacerea? Cel izolat intr-o grota va muri, nevazut de nimeni.

A man's past is not simply a dead history...it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavours and the tinglings of a merited shame.

There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.

Tandari de suflet, amintiri sfarimate, identitati lepadate, limbi materne amputate, intimitati violate, glume intraductibile, viitoruri ucise, iubiri pierdute, intelesul uitat al unor cuvinte rasunatoare si cavernoase cum ar fi tara, apartenenta, acasa.

You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, single power, a single salvation... and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else

What I always hated and detested and cursed above all things was this contentment, this healthiness and comfort, this carefully preserved optimism of the middle classes, this fat and prosperous brood of mediocrity.

Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace.

When someone is seeking ... it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything ... because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
