“Duyguları ve hayatı muhafaza eden, ruhun potansiyellerini idareli kullanan, afyon dozunu Goethe gibi ayarlayabilene ne mutlu! Bu kişilerde hâkim olan hayal gücüdür yalnız, duygu değil.

Homeros ile Goethe, Sofokles ile Voltaire yaşlılıktan öldü; hayal gücü besliyordu onları, yaşamları harcanmadı, zira hayal gücü duyguları harcamaz.

nečovečna i užasna kao i telo bez duše, a uostalom ono prvo je ređi izuzetak, a drugo je
pravilo. Po pravilu, baš telo uzme maha, prigrabi za sebe sav život, svu važnost i osamostali
se na najodvratniji način. Čovek koji živi kao bolesnik samo je telo, a to je nešto
antičovečansko i unižavajuće, — u najvećem broju slučajeva on nije ništa bolje od leša...«”

sve duše čine deo
a delovi - život ceo.”
