“თავისუფლებამ კი არ მოგვიტანა ამდენი სიბინძურე, თავისუფლებამ გამოაჩინა მონობაში დაგროვებული. (გნებავთ შეძენილი!)”

“რატომ ხუჭავს ადამიანი თვალებს, როცა რამე აწუხებს ანდა სიამოვნებს ? იქნებ იმიტომ, რომ წუთით მაინც გამოეყოს სამყაროს, მარტო დარჩეს წუხილთან თუ სიამოვნებასთან ერთად, რომელსაც მაინც ვერ გაუზიარებს ვერავის.”
