“O grace abounding and allowing me to dare
to fix my gaze on the Eternal Light,
so deep my vision was consumed in it!
I saw how it contains within its depths
all things bound in a single book by love
of which creation is the scattered leaves:
how substance, accident, and their relation
were fused in such a way that what I now
describe is but a glimmer of that Light.”

“O grande choque de trens entre isso que chamam de monogamia e isso que denominam poliamor se dá nestes níveis. Ficar com mais de uma pessoa, isso o mundo todo sabe fazer. Porém, ou se faz coisificando essa pessoa, desde a perspectiva de uma amante que nunca mais voltarás a ver e não merece investir cuidados, [...] ou a partir da romantização com a qual se iniciam as relações monogâmicas que se querem duráveis, fazendo uma escalada até o casal monogâmico. [...] E nenhuma dessas formas é compatível com o novo paradigma amoroso.”

“O große Lieb, o Lieb ohn alle Maße,
Die dich gebracht auf diese Marterstraße!
Ich lebte mit der Welt in Lust und Freuden,

O great love, o love beyond measure,
that brought You to this path of martyrdom!
I lived with the world in delight and joy,
and You had to suffer.

“O guarda il demonietto! come fugge!”
“O guide my judgment and my taste,
Sweet Spirit, author of the book
Of wonders, told in language chaste
And plainness, not to be mistook.
O let me muse, and yet at sight
The page admire, the page believe;
"Let there be light, and there was light,
Let there be Paradise and Eve!"
Who his soul's rapture can refrain?
At Joseph's ever pleasing tale
Of marvels, the prodigious train,
To Sinai's hill from Goshen's vale.
The psalmist and proverbial seer,
And all the prophets sons of song,
Make all things precious, all things dear,
And bear the brilliant word along.
O take the book from off the shelf,
And con it meekly on thy knees;
Best panegyric on itself,
And self-avouch'd to teach and please.
Respect, adore it heart and mind.
How greatly sweet, how sweetly grand,
Who reads the most, is most refind'd,
And polish'd by the Master's hand.”

“O günlerde Yahudileri inançlarının manasızlığı hakkında aydınlatmaya çalışacak kadar aptallık ediyordum. Dar çevremde boğazım kuruyana ve dilimde tüy bitene kadar konuşup duruyordum. Onlara Marksizm'in tehlikesini gösterebileceğimi sanıyordum. Fakat ters sonuçlar alıyordum. Çünkü Sosyal Demokratların gerek nazari ve gerek tatbikatta açık olarak elde ettikleri bu başarılar onların çalışma azimlerini kuvvetlendirmekten başka bir şeye yaramıyordu. Ancak bu heriflerle ne kadar çok münakaşa edersem, üslûplarını o kadar iyi anlayabiliyordum. Bunlar her şeyden önce, kendilerine karşı olanların akılsızlıklarına güveniyorlardı. Eğer münakaşa sırasında bir başka kaçamak yol bulamazlarsa o vakit kendilerine budala süsü veriyorlardı. Eğer bu da başarılı olmazsa, o zaman hiçbir şey anlamıyormuş gibi davranıyorlardı. Bu durum karşısında biraz sıkıştırılırlarsa, o zaman da başka bir konuya geçiyorlardı. Bir sürü manasız laflar ediyorlar, eğer itiraz edilmezse, bunlardan başka konular için deliller çıkarıyorlardı.
Üstlerine daha fazla gidilecek olursa, avucunuzdan kayıp kaçıyorlar ve artık hiçbir şeye cevap vermez oluyorlardı. Kurtarıcı gibi etrafta dolaşan bu heriflerin birini yakaladığınızda sanki elinizde yapışkan ve cıvık bir madde tutmuş gibi oluyor ve insana tiksinti veren bu madde parmaklarınızın arasından kayıp gittikten sonra, başka bir yerde tekrar toplanıp şekilleniyordu, içlerinden bir ikisine fikirlerinizi kabul etmekten başka bir çare bırakmayacak şekilde kesin bir darbe indirdiğinizde, ilerisi için bir ümit beliriyordu. Fakat aradan bir gün geçtikten sonra hayretler içinde kalıyordunuz. Yahudi yirmi dört saat önce olanları hiç hatırlamıyor ve başlangıçta olduğu gibi yine boş laflar edip duruyordu. Sanki aramızda hiçbir şey geçmemiş gibi davranıyordu. Eğer buna kızacak olur da kendisine izahat vermeye kalkarsanız, şaşırmış gibi yapıyor ve kesinlikle bir şey hatırlamadığını söylüyordu. Yalnız bir şey hatırlamadığını söylemekle kalsa yine iyi... Bir gün evvel iddialarının doğruluğunu ispat etmiş olduğunu da ilave ediyordu.”

For which we bear to live, or dare to die.”

But kill'so the mother that engendered thee”
