“Letter 68
A pod of whales was lying like long reclining Buddhas on the sea.
My sister and I put our ears to the bottom of the boat so we could listen to their songs.
We turned to my grandfather and asked, "What do their song mean?"
"The whales do not sing because they have an answer," he said.
"They sing because they have a song.”

“Есть я, нет меня, сражаюсь я, лежу на диване — никакой разницы. Ничего нельзя изменить, ничего нельзя исправить. Можно только устроиться — лучше или хуже. Все идёт само по себе, а я здесь ни при чем. Вот оно — ваше понимание, и больше понимать мне нечего… Вы мне лучше скажите, что я с этим пониманием должен делать?”
