“Even when you do nothing, you are doing something. Be aware of your decisions and what they mean for the book you are designing. You can make books better or worse. The content is the engine that leads to ideas, personal ideas, crazy ideas. Be clear about who you are, what you believe in and do not try to be someone else. Stick to your ideas. Embrace them. However impulsive or intuitive they might be, they are your treasures. Rely on the inner feeling that what you look for will work, that it will be right. Use your imagination to make the book that does not exist yet. It could be your best book ever.”

“when the great intolerance of faith was lost, the secular robe of office had to supplant the sacred one, and society had to separate itself into secular hierarchies with secular uniforms and invest these with the absolute authority of a creed. And because, when the secular exalts itself as the absolute, the result is always romanticism, so the real and characteristic romanticism of that age was the cult of the uniform, which implied, as it were, a superterrestrial and supertemporal idea of uniform, an idea which did not really exist and yet was so powerful that it took hold of men far more completely than any secular vocation could, a non-existent and yet so potent idea that it transformed the man in uniform into the property of his uniform, and never into a professional man in the civilian sense; and this perhaps simply because the man who wears the uniform is content to feel that he is fulfilling the most essential function of his age and therefore guaranteeing the security of his own life.”

“Zaman hiç kesintiye uğramadan hep aynı şekilde akarsa, elimizden kaymaya başlar ve zaman duygumuz, yaşam duygumuzla öylesine bağlantılı ve iç içedir ki, bu duygulardan birinin zayıflaması demek, öbürünün de acı ve yıpratıcı bir deneyimden geçmesi demektir. Can sıkıntısının kaynağı ile ilgili bir yığın yanlış düşünce dolaşır ortalıkta Can sıkıntısı denen şey, aslında, zamanın tekdüzeliğinin neden olduğu sağlıksız bir kısalmadır. Alışkanlık, zaman duygusu uykuya yatarsa ortaya çıkar ve insana gençlik yılları yavaş yavaş, daha sonraki yıllar ise gitgide hızlanarak akıp gidiyor gibi gelirse bu alışkanlık yüzündendir. Yeni alışkanlıklar edinmenin ya da eskilerini değiştirmenin altında yatan şey, yaşamı korumak, zaman duygumuzu yoğunlaştırmak, zaman deneyimimizi yavaşlatmak ve böylece yaşam duygumuzu yenilemek arzusudur.”
