“أنصحك ألا تتزوج من امرأة تحبها، وألا تحب امرأة تزوجتها، اقنع بالمعاشرة والمودة، واحذر الحب فإنه مكيدة..”

“Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives. There is a deep-seated fear, in most people, of the cold world and the possible cruelty of the herd; there is a longing for affection, which is often concealed by roughness, boorishness or a bullying manner in men, and by nagging and scolding in women. Passionate mutual love while it lasts puts an end to this feeling; it breaks down the hard walls of the ego, producing a new being composed of two in one.”

“هي في غاية السعادة والحماس، وإطفاء شعتلها سيكون جريمتك الثانية. لكنها تمد يدها لتقطف ثمرة غير موجودة. ولم يجر لك في بال أنه يمكن حل مشكلتك بهذه السهولة. ها هو الحب والحرية والكرامة والسلام فأين أنت! ولماذا لم تقع المعجزة قبل الجريمة؟”
