“There were opium-dens, where one could buy oblivion, dens of horror where the memory of old sins could be destroyed by the madness of sins that were new.”

“Spoznal se, da je ljudstvo zanikrno in leno ter da se ne izplača, da se žrtvujes zanj. Zaman sem bil klical in vabil. Misliš, da je ogromni večini ljudij kaj do resnice? Kje neki! Svoj mir zahtevajo ter bajke za svojo lačno domišljijo. Ali pa kaj do pravičnosti? Na to se požvižgajo, da le ugodiš njihovim osebnim koristim. Nisem se hotel varati več. Če je človeštvo tako, tedaj izrabi njene slabosti, da dosežeš svoj visoki cilj, ki bi bil tudi njemu v korist, ki ga pa ne razume. Potrkal sem na neumnost in na lahkovernost ljudi. Na njihovo slo po užitkih, na njihove sebične želje. Vrata so se mi na stežaj odprla”

“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.”

“Gala Gradiva - 'tista, ki hodi spredaj, 'brezmadežna intuicija' - je imela spet prav. Danes lahko rećem, da izmed vseh mojih prepričanj le dveh ne zmorem razložiti s svojo voljo do moči: eno je znova najdena vera leta 1949, drugo pa, da bo imela Gala glede moje prihodnosti vedno prav.”
