“- Ех, момиче, нека ти кажа и аз нещо. Животът, любовта и децата не ни прнадлежат. Имат си собствени закони и собствен път. Идват точно когато са ни нужни и си отиват пак така, но никога случайно. По тяхната си логика, не по нашата. Затова много често не ги разбираме. Можем да направим само едно - да ги приемем с благодарност, когато дойдат, да им даден вичко най-красиво от себе си и да ги изпратим пак с благодарност, че са споделили себе си с нас. Не тъгувай, Марина, и запомни: любовта не свършва и не умира, тя просто си отива... На друго място, при други сърца. И се връща при теб с друго лице, с друго сърце. Понякога със същото лице, със същия човек, но само тя знае защо отново ви среща. Явно не сме дорасли да познаваме тайната й. А може би истината е толкова близо до очите ни и толкова просто, че не я виждаме. Казах проста, но това не я прави лесна. (Демир)”
― Мария Лалева, Живот в скалите

“Никой и нищо не може да надвика човек, който крещи срещу собствената си рана. Това е най-глухият човек на света. И най-добрият учител по търпение.”

“Жените, които оставят след себе си повече въпроси, отколкото спомени, са тези - трудните. И за забравяне, и за обичане...
- На жените, които обичах, подарявах залез.
Определено се бях размекнал.
- Защо не изгрев? Символично е, начало... Начало на нов ден.
Дааа, Луиза е жена. Има право да бъде буквална дори в символиката.
- Защото да подариш залез, е обещание. Обещанието, че ще бъдеш до нея в тъмното, което идва. Каквото и да крие в себе си. Обещанието, че няма да се събуди сама. Повярвай ми, всяка жена чака този, който иска да й подари залез. Жените са уморени от изгреви с мъже, с които не са залязвали. Прииска ли ми се да подаря залез на жена, не се питам повече дали я обичам.”
― Мария Лалева, Живот в скалите

“I have frequently seen people become neurotic when they content themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions of life. They seek position, marriage, reputation, outward success of money, and remain unhappy and neurotic even when they have attained what they were seeking. Such people are usually confined within too narrow a spiritual horizon. Their life has not sufficient content, sufficient meaning. If they are enabled to develop into more spacious personalities, the neurosis generally disappears.”
― C.G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections

“Be silent and listen: have you recognized your madness and do you admit it? Have you noticed that all your foundations are completely mired in madness? Do you not want to recognize your madness and welcome it in a friendly manner? You wanted to accept everything. So accept madness too. Let the light of your madness shine, and it will suddenly dawn on you. Madness is not to be despised and not to be feared, but instead you should give it life...If you want to find paths, you should also not spurn madness, since it makes up such a great part of your nature...Be glad that you can recognize it, for you will thus avoid becoming its victim. Madness is a special form of the spirit and clings to all teachings and philosophies, but even more to daily life, since life itself is full of craziness and at bottom utterly illogical. Man strives toward reason only so that he can make rules for himself. Life itself has no rules. That is its mystery and its unknown law. What you call knowledge is an attempt to impose something comprehensible on life.”
― C.G. Jung, The Red Book: A Reader's Edition

“To stand up straight with your shoulders back is to accept the terrible responsibility of life, with eyes wide open. It means deciding to voluntarily transform the chaos of potential into the realities of habitable order. It means adopting the burden of self-conscious vulnerability, and accepting the end of the unconscious paradise of childhood, where finitude and mortality are only dimly comprehended. It means willingly undertaking the sacrifices necessary to generate a productive and meaningful reality (it means acting to please God, in the ancient language).”
― Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos
