“Despite all the positive psychological attributes of hatred we have outlined, hatred destroys finally the core of the life of the hater. While it lasts, burning in white heat, its effect seems positive and dynamic. But at last it turns to ash, for it guarantees a final isolation from one’s fellows. It blinds the individual to all values of worth, even as they apply to himself and to his fellows. Hatred bears deadly and bitter fruit. It is blind and nondiscriminating.”
― Jesus and the Disinherited

“Rubaiyat
Revină-n glasul meu persanul vers
Spre a ne aminti că timpul-i un divers
Mod de-a urzi avide visuri vane,
În taine risipite-n univers.
Din nou să spună că țărână-i focul,
Țărână-i trupul, și că asta-i jocul:
Viața mea și-a ta sunt râu ce curge
Necontenit și repede-n tot locul.
Și că impunătorul monument
Zidit cu trudă, din trufie, lent,
Un vânt fugar e numai, că-n lumina
Lui Dumnezeu un veac e un moment.
...
Te rog, persană lună, să revii,
Și voi, incerte-apusuri aurii.
Azi e ieri. Nu ește decât ceilalți.
Tărână-i chipul lor. Cu morții-învii.”
