“You always hear all these statements like "Freedom isn't free." You hear the President talking about all these people making sacrifices. But you never really know until you carry one of them in a casket. When you feel their bodyweight. When you feel them. That's when you know. That's when you understand.”

“When there is both name and reality, We dwell in the realm of things; When there is neither name nor reality, We exist in a vacuity of things. We can speak and can think, But the more we speak, the further off we are. What is not yet born cannot be forbidden, What is already dead cannot be prevented. Death and birth are not distant, It's their principle that cannot be seen.”

“«Жизнь прожила хорошую, за все спасибо. А теперь вот до войны дошли. Танки на границе. Придут ли? Выстрелить, батюшка, в них не смогу. Так выстрелить, чтобы убить и дальше жить, ― не смогу. Потому что вроде свои же, русские. Но и землю им отдать тоже нельзя. Подорвусь если с какой гранатой на поясе, чтобы и танк, и я, и не видеть после ничего… Грех ли это?» Отец Петр вздыхает, осеняя себя и Марию крестным знамением. Говорит: «Бог управит. Управит. На Него уповаем». Март 2014.”
