“It is all about praising. Created to praise, his heart is a winepress destined to break, that makes for us an eternal wine. His voice never chokes with dust when words for the sacred come through. All becomes vineyard. All becomes grape, ripening in the southland of his being. Nothing, not even the rot in royal tombs, or the shadow cast by a god, gives the lie to his praising. He is ever the messenger, venturing far through the doors of the dead, bearing a bowl of fresh-picked fruit.”

“Ima život i u njemu šest stvari: rat i smrt, ljubav i igra, rad i vjera. Rat i smrt su tu, nezvani i zajedno, kao bolesnik i bolest, kao mrtvac i grob, kao gubavac i guba. Ljubavlju i igrom zaboravljamo na rat i smrt. Voljenjem se budi zanos, a igrom nehaj, ali oboje je kratkotrajno, poput smjene noći i dana. Ostaje rad da bi njime zaboravili na rat i smrt, ljubav i igru. Da radom i znojem spoznamo kako nema obruča da se njime obujmi svijet. Onda se čovjeku javi vjera da ga utješi što je sve nepromijenjeno, i što je tako.”
