"Uit deze belevenissen, die niemand ziet, bestaat de innerlijke, wezenlijke lijn van ons lot. Zulk een breuk en scheur groeit weer dicht, hij heelt en wordt vergeten, maar in de diepst verborgen hoek leeft en bloedt hij verder."
"Our mind is capable of passing beyond the dividing line we have drawn for it. Beyond the pairs of opposites of which the world consists, other, new insights begin."
"If I know what love is, it is because of you."
"I will no longer mutilate and destroy myself in order to find a secret behind the ruins."
"Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish."
