“Pressure to produce over the short term - a gun to the head of everyone - encourages excessive risk taking which manifests itself in several ways - fully invested posture at all times, the use of leverage, and a market centric orientation that makes it difficult to stand apart from the crowd and take a long term perspective.”

“Pressure, no doubt, has always been a most important factor in the metamorphism of rocks; but there is, I think, at present some danger in over-estimating this, and representing a partial statement of truth as the whole truth. Geology, like many human beings, suffered from convulsions in its infancy; now, in its later years, I apprehend an attack of pressure on the brain.”

“Prestao je vidjeti svrhovitim gašenje mržnje... možda, premda je znao da je u njoj samo jad i strah i slabost, ali je bio umoran, rekao bih, zaustavljen uslovima svijeta; prvi put kad je osjetio stvarno opravdan strah, onaj naime o nesvrsi, o nemoći, kad je prepoznao ili se uvjerio u vlastito ništavilo, to je bio istočnik osamljavanja, prirodno tako, jednom je živi pojav otkrio nepojmljivu golemost stvarnosti pa je na to reagirao povlačenjem, kao živci u doticaju sa plamenom... i u toj novoj samoći, jedini očiti odgovor na malenost, pak jedini lagani odgovor, očitovao se kao potreba za dominacijom. To je surogat, onda, surovost kao surogat ranjivosti, niskosti... svega što je od težeg smisla.” “Nisam li vas krivo shvatila...”, maršalica će ovdje zaustiti, “ideja o individui nešto je nakraju tragično, goropadan ishod odvajanja od cjeline...?” “Možda radije nepotrebno goropadan, kao uostalom nepotrebno tragičan; probat ćemo reći da je cjelina nešto beskrajno veliko i moćno i suvereno dokraja; takva se usitnjava, razdaje, razonodi se idejom da prestane postojati bez dopuštenja ikoga, izvan granica i zakona - udaljavanje dijela od cjeline u tom je smislu samo neka djetinja sretna igra, kao mali dio plesa, negdje sam jednom zapisao, plesa opstojnosti, sa izlaskom i povratkom, postankom, nestankom, slobodan zaigrani prštavi proces i nešto ustvari obično...”, smireno, opušteno je sricao literat više se kao podsjećajući na neku stariju i dosad već zaboravljenu svoju misao, do čitavosti vjerojatno komponiranu tek sada. “U tome bi osoba bila samo česti kratkotrajni kuriozum i dio koji obogaćuje cjelinu, ali ne i njezin ishod; za mene, opažam, sva su živa bića ja, a ja je ono sve, i kada gledam stoga na cijelu struju stvarnoga, ideja o vremenu i prolaznosti, o bijednosti neke individue naspram svega kolosalnog uokrug nje, najednom to gubi snagu, postaje glupo i ruši se, poput nekog oblutka koji se plaši da će ga svatko moći baciti gdje poželi, samo zato što se odbija identificirati kao planina o čijem obronku leži.”
