“How easy and wonderful it is to live in happy days and how bitter and accursed it is in miserable days! Why can't people save up the one to soften the pain of the other? Why is there always a chasm between the two? Where were you, what games were you playing when your fate was being decided? Why did you let them chop off your wings, without thinking, just when you needed them most, when you need to fly and not crawl from disaster?” LifeFateMiserableHappy Days Book:Live and Remember Source: Live and Remember

“How many people, healthy and strong do not distinguish their own, personal, God-given feelings from the common, dime-a-dozen feelings. Those people get into bed with the same unbridled pleasure, ready for anything, that they sit at a table with: just to be satisfied. And they cry and laugh looking around--to make sure that they are seen laughing and crying so that their tears do not go to waste. They were played out: touch them a special way--and they won't understand, they won't respond, not a single string will vibrate with a sensitive quiver. It's too late for them--they are deaf and dumb, and they will never touch anyone that way either. And all because they did not want or did not know how to be alone with themselves, they had forgotten and lost themselves, and now they couldn't remember or find themselves.” LifeSolitudeSelf AwarenessPretenseImpostor Syndrome Book:Live and Remember Source: Live and Remember
“هم يضحكون: الكبير(العجوز) مثل الصغير، ويقصدون بذلك أن أحدهما فقد عقله، أما الثاني لم يمتلكه بعد. هذا صحيح، الكبير والصغير هما فقط القادران بحساسية وحدة أن يُدهَشا لوجودهما، ولكل ما يحيط بهما في كل خطوة.” LifeAgeChildhoodOld People Book:المهلة الأخيرة Source: المهلة الأخيرة
“Live, Darya, as long as you're alive, Good or bad, you live, that's what your life has to be. If you swim in sorrow and anger and you get exhausted and wanted to join us-- don't; you live, move, make the world remember that we once lived there. No one's ever been afraid to come join us, there's never been and never will be such a person in our family.” LifeLife QuotesTenacity Quotes Book:Farewell to Matyora Source: Farewell to Matyora
