“نحب الحياة غداً
عندما يصل الغد سوف نحب الحياة
كما هي، عادية ماكرة
رمادية أو ملونة،
لا قيامة فيها ولا آخرة.
وإن كان لابد من فرح
فليكن
خفيفاً على القلب والخاصرة !
فلا يلدغ المؤمن المتمرن
من فرح ... مرتين!”

“It was from feeling oneself that one had reached the last barrier, that it was horrible, but that it could not be otherwise; that there was no escape for you; that you never could become a different man; that even if time and faith were still left you to change into something different you would most likely not wish to change; or if you did wish to, even then you would do nothing; because perhaps in reality there was nothing for you to change into.”

“Do not waste what remains of your life in speculating about your neighbors, unless with a view to some mutual benefit. To wonder what so-and-so is doing and why, or what he is saying, or thinking, or scheming—in a word, anything that distracts you from fidelity to the ruler within you—means a loss of opportunity for some other task.”
