“You can turn every ugly and damaging drama into a genuine blessing by seeing it differently. No one is suffering on purpose.

“Material things have closed boundaries; they are not accessible, cannot be penetrated, by things outside themselves. But one’s existence as a spiritual being involves being and remaining oneself and at the same time admitting and transforming into oneself the reality of the world.

“Розум — одне з найбільших людських обдарувань. Але дуже часто пошуки знання перешкоджають пошукам любові. Це ще одна істина, яку я відкрив для себе зовсім недавно. Я пропоную її вам як гіпотезу: розум без здатності віддавати й отримувати любов приводить до ментального й морального зриву, до неврозу й, можливо, навіть до психозу.
