“Annie, today I went outside and in the snow in the courtyard outside my dorm I built a replica of my childhood monster and wished you were with me. My snow monster was pure and white and guiltless, and I looked at it, Annie, and it struck me that it can never turn black and ugly like the monster of my childhood, because what is guiltless about it is what it is, not necessarily what it does. Even if sometimes what it does it bad, or cowardly, or foolish, it itself is okay, not evil.”

“صلاة أبانا الذي في المباحث . نحن رعاياك باق لك الجبروتُ وباق لنا الملكوت وباق لمن تحرس الرهبوت * * * تفردت وحدك باليسر . إن اليمين لفي الخسر . اما اليسار ففي العسر . إلا . الذين يماشون . إلا الذين يعيشون يحشون بالصحف المشتراة العيون . . فيعيشون إلا الذين يشون . والا الذين يوشُّون ياقات قمصانهم برباط السكوت ! تعاليت . ماذا يهمك ممن يذمك ؟ اليوم يومك يرقى السجين إلا سدة العرش . . والعرش يصبح سجنا جديدا . . وأنت مكانك : . قد يتبدل رسمك واسمك . لكن جوهرك الفرد لا يتحول . الصمت وشمك . والصمت وسْمُكَ والصمت – حيث إلتفت – يرين ويسمك والصمت بين خيوط يديك المصبغتين المشبكتين يلف الفراشة . . . والعنكبوت . * * * أبانا الذي في المباحث . كيف تموت . وأغنية الثورة الأبدية . . . ليست تموت !؟”

“One should not waste life. Life is a great possibility to be, to grow, and one should not just vegetate and be lethargic. We have got life without paying for it, which is why we think life is valueless. One goes on living life like we can simply waste it. We waste life by putting our attention on the trivial things: money, power, position, status, greed and prestige, but we never think about life and it's infinite value. Everything else is just trivial in comparison to life.”
