“Che razza di Paese è quello che trasforma i campi di mirtilli in proprietà privata? Quando passo accanto a quei terreni lungo la strada, avverto nel petto un tuffo al cuore. Vedo la rovina incombere sulla terra. In quel luogo un velo si è steso sulla Natura. Mi allontano veloce dal posto maledetto. Niente può sfigurare maggiormente il suo bel volto. Non posso fare a meno d'immaginarlo per sempre come un luogo dove attraenti e gradevoli bacche si convertono in denaro, dove il mirtillo viene oltraggiato.
È vero, esiste il diritto di trasformare le bacche in proprietà privata così come esiste quello di fare altrettanto dell'erba e degli alberi - un gesto non più grave di migliaia di altre pratiche accettate dall'uso - ma questa è la peggiore di tutte perché indica quanto esse siano negative e verso quale obiettivo la nostra civiltà e la divisione del lavoro tendano naturalmente, e cioè ad attribuire un prezzo a tutto.”

― Mirtilli o L'importanza delle piccole cose
“Z czasem udaje nam się do pewnego stopnia kierować tym, co nas opanowało, w każdym razie ginie poczucie odrębności osoby i atakującego ją żywiołu i wówczas staje się oczywiste, że to my jesteśmy tym żywiołem przebudzonym, a wcześniejsze wrażenie oddzielenia osoby od natury było złudzeniem, które niknie wobec gwałtowności uderzeń porodu. Jego brutalnej silne nie sposób dłużej przeciwstawiać fikcji.
Poród pozwala zrozumieć, jak bardzo rozdęta jest nasza świadomość indywidualna. A odrzucenie tej fałszywej świadomości, choć dokonane pod biologicznym przymusem, pozwala doświadczyć przeżycia zwycięstwa, nie klęski. A także umożliwia odnalezienie dna egzystencjalnej niecki i osadzenie się w najniższym punkcie równowagi. Na pewien czas.”
