“Ako ostanemo sami sa sobom, bez knjiga, mi ćemo se odmah zaplesti, izgubiti - nećemo znati kome da se pridružimo, čega da se pridržavamo, šta da volimo a šta da mrzimo, šta da poštujemo i šta da preziremo? Nama je teško čak i da budemo ljudi, pravi ljudi svojim telom i krvlju; stidimo se toga, smatramo to za sramotu i uspinjemo se da budemo neki nerealni svečovek. Mi smo mrtvorođenčad, a odavno se već i ne rađamo od živih očeva, i to nam se sve više i više sviđa. Prilagođavamo se ukusu. Uskoro ćemo izmisliti da se rađamo nekako od ideje.”

“The struggle to reach reality—that’s the main objective of this creature who tries, in every way, to cling to whatever exists by means of a total vision of things. I meant to make clear too the way vision—the way of seeing, the viewpoint—alters reality, constructing it. A house is not only constructed with stones, cement etc. A man’s way of looking constructs it too.”
