“Да се чувстваш нужен. Въпреки всичко. Да бързаш занякъде, да носиш нещо, да вярваш, че те чакат, че без тебе не могат, че се взират в далечината идеш ли.
Да изненадаш света с някакво откритие. Но аз нищо не носех освен едно опетнено име.
Никой не ме чакаше, никой не гледаше жадно към пътя, да се задам, не броеше минутите.
Скоростта, с която летях, се превърна в сух, безплоден вятър.
Скорост, скорост към нищото,опустошителна като суховей.
Целият ти досегашен живот пробягва мълнийно пред очите ти.
Искаш да се вкопчиш в нещо, да се задържиш на ръба на пропастта.
Не е възможно да бъдеш излишен на тоя свят.
И последният човек е нужен някъде, някому, за нещо.”

“Allow the world to vanish when you go into it. To listen is to search for new opportunities, to seek fresh challenges. The most important book you can read is the one about yourself. It is open.”

“What we are experiencing is experiential poverty. Such poverty may not only be about a lack of experiences, where nothing is happening. An abundance of activities can also create a feeling of experiential poverty. And this last point is interesting. Things just get to be too much. the problem, according to Lars Fr. H. Svendsen, is that we carry on seeking "increasingly more powerful experiences" instead of pausing to breathe deeply, shut out the world and use the time to experience ourselves. The idea that boredom can be avoided by constantly pursuing something new, being available around the clock, sending messages and clicking further, watching something you haven't yet seen, is naive. The more you try to avoid boredom, the more bored you become. Routine is like that too... Busying oneself becomes a goal in and of itself, instead of allowing that same restlessness to lead you somewhere further.”
