“Çağımızda geçmiş yüzyılların bilmediği, kısa ömürlü bir yaratık yaşıyor. Sinemadan çıkmış insan. Gördüğü film ona bir şeyler yapmış. Salt çıkarını düşünen kişi değil. İnsanlarla barışık. Onun büyük işler yapacağı umulur. Ama beş-on dakikada ölüyor. Sokak sinemadan çıkmayanlarla dolu; asık yüzleri, kayıtsızlıkları, sinsi yürüyüşleriyle onu aralarına alıyorlar, eritiyorlar.”

“The evil in the world comes almost always from ignorance, and goodwill can cause as much damage as ill-will if it is not enlightened. People are more often good than bad, though in fact that is not the question. But they are more or less ignorant and this is what one calls vice or virtue, the most appalling vice being the ignorance that thinks it knows everything and which consequently authorizes itself to kill. The murderer's soul is blind, and there is no true goodness or fine love without the greatest possible degree of clear-sightedness.”

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

“If while washing dishes, we think only of the cup of tea that awaits us, thus hurrying to get the dishes out of the way as if they were a nuisance, then we are not “washing the dishes to wash the dishes.” What’s more, we are not alive during the time we are washing the dishes. In fact we are completely incapable of realizing the miracle of life while standing at the sink. If we can’t wash the dishes, the chances are we won’t be able to drink our tea either. While drinking the cup of tea, we will only be thinking of other things, barely aware of the cup in our hands. Thus we are sucked away into the future—and we are incapable of actually living one minute of life.”
