“Този свят е като заснежена планина, където кънти ехото на гласа ти. Каквото и да кажеш, и добро, и зло, то ще се върне пак при теб. Затова, в случай, че някой ти мисли злото, само ще усложниш положението, ако тръгнеш да злословиш за него. Ще влезеш в омагьосания кръг на мъстта. Ето защо четирийсет дни и четирийсет нощи говори и си мисли за този човек хубави неща. В края на четирийсетте дни всичко ще бъде различно, защото дълбоко в себе си ти ще бъдеш друг.”

“With me, the present is forever, and forever is always shifting, flowing, melting. This second is life. And when it is gone it is dead. But you can't start over with each new second. You have to judge by what is dead. It's like quicksand...hopeless from the start. A story, a picture, can renew sensation a little, but not enough, not enough. Nothing is real except the present, and already, I feel the weight of centuries smothering me. Some girl a hundred years ago once lived as I do. And she is dead. I am the present, but I know I, too, will pass. The high moments, the burning flash, come and are gone, continuous quicksand. And I don't want to die.”
