“Ανθρώπους ψάχνουμε όχι ιδεολογίες,
Ανθρώπους που να 'χουν θάρρος, αγάπη, καλοσύνη.
Ανθρώπους που δεν είναι ψεύτες, ρηχοί και βολεμένοι και ξέρουν να δίνουνε,
όχι να ρουφάν και να εκμεταλλεύονται τους γύρω.
Ανθρώπους έστω με καρδιά. Κι ας είναι δικηγόροι, παπάδες και αστυνόμοι. Κι ας είναι και χαφιέδες, κομουνιστές, αναρχικοί,
αρκεί να έχουν τόλμη να κρατήσουν ένα λόγο και να πούνε την αλήθεια.”
― Νικόλας Άσιμος

“Τέλος πάντων, κάτι πρέπει ν' αγαπάει κανείς σ' αυτό το κόσμο. Μπορείς να ζήσεις δίχως να σ' αγαπάνε, μα όχι δίχως ν' αγαπάς.”

“Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation...tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling, grinding, and trilling bolster his ego. His anxiety subsides. His inhuman void spreads monstrously like a gray vegetation.”
― Jean Arp
