“But not too much pain, am I right? Not too much, never too much. If it was too much, you wouldn't know what to do with me, would you? Too much would make you uncomfortable. Bored. My crying would leave a bad taste. That would just be bad theatre, wouldn't it? A bad show. You want a good show. They all do. A few pretty tears on my cheeks that you can brush away. Just a delicate little bit of ouch so you know there's someone in there. So you don't get too scared of me, am I right? So you know I'm still a vulnerable thing. That I can be brought down if I need be.”

“Έχω να πω το εξής για τον πόνο της ψυχής – ότι προσδίδει ένα ζοφερό βάρος στα πράγματα και ρίχνει επάνω τους ένα πρωτόγνωρα ψυχρό, αποκαλυπτικό φως. Διαστέλλει το πνεύμα, αφαιρεί το προστατευτικό εξωτερικό περίβλημα και αφήνει τον εσωτερικό εαυτό εκτεθειμένο στα στοιχεία της φύσης, με όλα τα νεύρα ξεγυμνωμένα να αντηχούν σαν χορδές της άρπας στον άνεμο.”

“அனுபவங்களே ஒருவனை ஆசானாக்கும். அந்த அனுபவங்களிலும் தோல்வியைத் தழுவும்போதுதான் அறிவு மிகக் கூர்மையாகும். உங்களை வலி ஒன்றுதான் வலிமை மிக்கவனாகும். எனவே, வலி ஏற்படும்போதெல்லாம் மகிழ்ச்சி அடையுங்கள். எந்த இன்பமும் நம்மை வளர்க்காது. துன்பமே வளர்க்கும். எனவே, துன்பம் வரும்போது ஆழ்மனதில் அதை வரவேற்று மகிழப்பழகுங்கள்.”

“He wanted to push against the feet while the other two men grabbed the head at the opposite end so that the officer could be eased off the needles. But the two men could not make up their minds to come over; the prisoner even turned away. The traveler had to go over and violently shove them toward the officer’s head. In so doing, he reluctantly saw the face of the corpse. It was as it had been in life; no sign of the promised redemption was perceptible; the officer has not found what all the others had found in the machine. His lips were squeezed tight, his eyes were open, with the same expression as in life, his gaze was calm and convinced, the point of the large iron spike had passed through his forehead.”

“[S]he made haste to light the whole bundle of matches, for she wished to keep her grandmother there. And the matches glowed with a light that was brighter than the noon-day, and her grandmother had never appeared so large or so beautiful. She took the little girl in her arms, and they both flew upwards in brightness and joy far above the earth, where there was neither cold nor hunger nor pain, for they were with God.”
