“Mas o pior inimigo que você pode encontrar sempre será você mesmo; você fica à espreita em cavernas e florestas. Solitário, você está seguindo o caminho para si mesmo! E o seu caminho passa por você mesmo e pelos seus sete demônios! Você será um herege para si mesmo, uma bruxa, um adivinho, um tolo, um duvidoso, um profano e um vilão. Você deve estar pronto para queimar em sua própria chama: como você poderia se tornar novo, se primeiro não tivesse se tornado cinza?”

“I am convinced that most people do not grow up. We find parking spaces and honor our credit cards. We marry and dare to have children and call that growing up. I think what we do is mostly grow old. We carry accumulation of years in our bodies and on our faces, but generally our real selves, the children inside, are still innocent and shy as magnolias.
We may act sophisticated and worldly but I believe we feel safest when we go inside ourselves and find home, a place where we belong and maybe the only place we really do.”
