“I suffer from life and from other people. I can’t look at reality face to face. Even the sun discourages and depresses me. Only at night and all alone, withdrawn, forgotten and lost, with no connection to anything real or useful — only then do I find myself and feel comforted.”

“The fact that both ego and self say "I" is a source of confusion and misidentification. The well-informed ego says truly, "I am what I know myself to be." The self says merely, "I am.”

“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”

“Mislio sam da sam zaboravio, ali ništa se izgleda ne zaboravlja, sve se vraća iz zaključanih pretinaca, iz mraka tobožnjeg zaborava, i sve je naše što smo mislili da je već ničije, ne treba nam, a stoji pred nama, svjetluca svojim bivšim postojanjem, podsjećajući nas i ranjavajući. I sveteći se zbog izdaje. Kasno je, sjećanja, uzalud se javljate, beskorisne su vaše nemoćne utjehe i podsjećanja na ono što je moglo da bude, jer što nije bilo, nije ni moglo da bude. A uvijek izgleda lijepo ono što se nije ostvarilo. Vi ste varka koja rađa nezadovoljstvo, varka koju ne mogu i ne želim da otjeram, jer me razoružava i tihom tugom brani od patnje.”
