“Modern mass culture, aimed at the 'consumer', the civilisation of prosthetics, is crippling people's souls, setting up barriers between man and the crucial questions of his existence, his consciousness of himself as a spiritual being.”

“Câţi oameni sunt într-un singur om? Tot atâţia câte stele sunt cuprinse într-o picătură de rouă sub cerul cel limpede al nopţii. Şi, dac-ai mări acea picătură, să te poţi uita în adâncul ei, ai revedea toate miile de stele ale cerului, fiecare — o lume, fiecare cu ţări şi popoare, fiecare cu istoria evilor ei scrisă pe ea — un univers într-o picătură trecătoare.”

“Let everything that's been planned come true. Let them believe. And let them have a laugh at their passions. Because what they call passion actually is not some emotional energy, but just the friction between their souls and the outside world. And most important, let them believe in themselves. Let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing. When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it's tender and pliant. But when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death's companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win.”
