“How I envy those clerks who go by to their offices in the morning! There's the day's work cut out for them; no question of mood and feeling; they have just to work at something, and when the evening comes, they have earned their wages, and they are free to rest and enjoy themselves.

No, that is the unpardonable sin! To make a trade of an art! I am rightly served for attempting such a brutal folly.”

“How I Get My Ideas (The Sonnet)
You wanted to know how I get my ideas,
The universe speaks to me.
You wanted to know how my words appear,
The soil and the air hand them to me.
You asked how do I speak for every culture,
I listen to the heart beyond the word.
You asked how am I not bound by geography,
Long ago I turned my inner walls into dust.
You said to me that I should have some fun,
I'll indeed have fun when the fallen are lifted.
You wanted to know why do I care at all,
That's because I am an alive human not an insect.
Instead of asking why and how a human acts human,
If there is no such being around why not be the first one!”
Source: Mücadele Muhabbet: Gospel of An Unarmed Soldier
“How I go to the wood
Ordinarily, I go to the woods alone, with not a single
friend, for they are all smilers and talkers and therefore
unsuitable.
I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds
or hugging the old black oak tree. I have my way of
praying, as you no doubt have yours.
Besides, when I am alone I can become invisible. I can sit
on the top of a dune as motionless as an uprise of weeds,
until the foxes run by unconcerned. I can hear the almost
unhearable sound of the roses singing.
If you have ever gone to the woods with me, I must love
you very much.”

“How I hate the man who talks about the 'brute creation', with an ugly emphasis on Brute. Only Christians are capable of it. As for me, I am proud of my close kinship with other animals. I take a jealous pride in my Simian ancestry. I like to think that I was once a magnificent hairy fellow living in the trees and that my frame has come down through geological time via sea jelly and worms and Amphioxus, Fish, Dinosaurs, and Apes. Who would exchange these for the pallid couple in the Garden of Eden?”

“How I hate this world. I would like to tear it apart with my own two hands if I could. I would like to dismantle the universe star by star, like a treeful of rotten fruit. Nor do I believe in progress. A vermin-eaten saint scratching his filth for heaven is better off than you damned in clean linen. Progress doubles our tenure in a vale of tears. Man is a mistake, to be corrected only by his abolition, which he gives promise of seeing to himself. Oh, let him pass, and leave the earth to the flowers that carpet the earth wherever he explodes his triumphs. Man is inconsolable, thanks to that eternal "Why?" when there is no Why, that question mark twisted like a fishhook in the human heart. "Let there be light," we cry, and only the dawn breaks.”

O, how hard it is of Heaven to devise such tortures for me, who have done no harm to heaven at all!”
