“Как ще повярват невярващите какви чудеса може да стори вярата?
Те забравят, че душата на човека става всемогъща, когато бъде овладяна от една велика идея. Обхваща те страх, когато след горчив опит разбереш, че вътре в нас съществува една сила, която може да надвиши силите на човека; обхваща те страх, защото от онзи миг, в който разбереш, че тази сила съществува, вече не можеш да намериш оправдание за дребнавите си или малодушни постъпки, за пропиления си живот, за който хвърляш вината на другите; знаеш вече, че ти, не съдбата, не орисията, нито хората около теб, ти единствен носиш цялата отговорност, каквото и да правиш, какъвто и да станеш.
И тогава се срамуваш да се смееш, срамуваш се да се присмиваш, ако някоя пламенна душа се стреми към невъзможното.
И ти съзнаваш вече съвсем ясно, че ценността на човека се състои в това: да търси и да знае, че търси невъзможното; и да бъде убеден, че ще го постигне, защото знае, че ако не прояви малодушие, ако не послуша това, което му нашепва разумът, а стиска зъби и продължава да преследва невъзможното убедено, упорито, тогава става чудото, което безкрилият ум никога не би могъл да проумее: невъзможното става възможно.”
Nikos Kazantzakis

C.G. Jung
“If you go to thinking take your heart with you. If you go to love, take your head with you. Love is empty without thinking, thinking hollow without love.”
C.G. Jung, The Red Book: Liber Novus

Kahlil Gibran
“Seven times I have despised my soul:
The first time when I saw her being meek that she might attain height.
The second time when I saw her limping before the crippled.
The third time when she was given to choose between the hard and the easy, and she chose the easy.
The fourth time when she committed a wrong, and comforted herself that others also commit wrong.
The fifth time when she forbode for weakness, and attributed her patience to strength.
The sixth time when she despised the ugliness of a face, and knew not that it was one of her own masks.
And the seventh time when she sang a song of praise, and deemed it a virtue.”
Kahlil Gibran, Sand and Foam

William Saroyan
“In the time of your life, live—so that in that good time there shall be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life your life touches. Seek goodness everywhere, and when it is found, bring it out of its hiding place and let it be free and unashamed.

Place in matter and in flesh the least of the values, for these are the things that hold death and must pass away. Discover in all things that which shines and is beyond corruption. Encourage virtue in whatever heart it may have been driven into secrecy and sorrow by the shame and terror of the world. Ignore the obvious, for it is unworthy of the clear eye and the kindly heart.

Be the inferior of no man, or of any men be superior. Remember that every man is a variation of yourself. No man's guilt is not yours, nor is any man's innocence a thing apart. Despise evil and ungodliness, but not men of ungodliness or evil. These, understand. Have no shame in being kindly and gentle but if the time comes in the time of your life to kill, kill and have no regret.

In the time of your life, live—so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it.”
William Saroyan, The time of your life

William Saroyan
“You must remember always to give, of everything you have. You must give foolishly even. You must be extravagant. You must give to all who come into your life. Then nothing and no one shall have power to cheat you of anything, for if you give to a thief, he cannot steal from you, and he himself is then no longer a thief. And the more you give, the more you will have to give.”
William Saroyan, The Human Comedy
