“Conforta-me pensar que a vida não começa nem acaba aqui. Um dia regressaremos ao lugar de onde viemos, um lugar de repouso e de paz, um lugar livre de mágoas. Mas quantos lugares de dor teremos de atravessar para alcançá-lo? Quanta tristeza, quanto sofrimento, quanta crueldade no destino do Homem! E se o mundo é repleto de maravilhas é só para não perdermos de vista a morada original, que nos aguarda ao fim dos nossos doze trabalhos de Hércules, e a que os poetas e os místicos chamam paraíso e eu chamo, simplesmente, amor. As guerras fazem-se para alcançar a paz, ensinaram-nos durante séculos. (...)O sofrimento serve para alcançar a bem-aventurança, invento eu, para não morrer de desespero.”
