“Here I am now, this green drinking glass before me, my heart heavy. Can it be that life begins with scenes like this? Can it be that we live out complete lives as children, drinking down our lives in one go, only to repeat ourselves stupidly, blindly, meaninglessly?”

“En ocasiones, cuando se embriagaba, Sikrosio decía cosas extrañas. Señalaba al Norte, y murmuraba: «De la Selva, llega el misterio». Indicaba después hacia el Este: «De la Estepa, la
destrucción, el fuego, la muerte...». Luego, volvíase hacia el Sur: «Del otro lado de las Lisias, el sueño, lo imposible..., y la mentira». Por fin, con voz donde latía una misteriosa tristeza, señalaba a Occidente: «Y de más allá de las tundras, el olvido».”

“Whatever you do, don't shut off your pain. Accept your pain and remain vulnerable. However desperate you become, don't shut off your pain because it is in fact trying to hand you a precious gift -- the chance of discovery through spiritual practice, what lies behind sorrow. And don't we know and only far too well, that protection from pain doesn't work. And when we try and defend ourselves from suffering, we only suffer more and don't learn what we can from experience.”
