Quotes by Emilian Stanev (?)

“Никой мъдрец не притежава чисто слово, понеже е унищожил висшата словесност на душата с помисли.”

“Ако искате да познаете света и човека, станете слуги! Разбрах тая истина в манастира, разбрах и това, че слугата стои по-близо до истината от господаря си.”
― Emilian Stanev, Антихрист

“Народът чакаше Светият да се появи за изцеление и благословия, пък аз разглеждах „божието стадо“, разноцветно като майска ливада с празничните си носии, кипящо в светлина и тъмнина, смрадливо от грехове, ала жадно за истинско слово и правдини — що живееше със земята и добитъка, с юди, самовили, орисници и змейове, а пазеше и Исус в сърцето си. Защото в българската земя живеят много богове — тракийски, славянски, римски и старобългарски, а между тях и Христос. Страх ме обземаше пред тоя народ, измъчен от лоши господари, отдръпнал се от тях в своя правда.”
― Emilian Stanev, Антихрист
