“Humans are strange things. They have sex with each other; but are too ashamed to say sorry to one another, they see what they have when they've lost what they have; but not while they have it, they are the most proud on the outside during the times they are the most insecure on the inside, and they would rather die manipulating others than be brave enough to be honest. They can't even look in the mirror properly. All they see are their shells in the mirror; nothing else.”

“Oamenii comunica intre ei prin semne conventionale si astfel si-au facut iluzia desarta ca se si inteleg. In realitate fiecare atribuie celorlalti ceea ce simte dinsul si atata tot. Legaturi directe omul numai cu Dumnezeu poate sa aiba de la care a si dobandit constiinta existentei. Tragediile ca si bucuriile cele mai mari omul le traieste intotdeauna in deplina singuratate si de aceea, cand isi simte sufletul mai sfisiat, isi simte singuratatea si mai mare.”
