Quote
We intellectuals, instead of fighting against this tendency like men, and rendering obedience to the spirit, the Logos, the Word, and gaining a hearing for it, are all dreaming of a speech without words that utters inexpressible and gives form to the formless.

Jie grumiasi taip, kaip kleptomanas grumiasi su savo yda. Stepių Vilkui taip pat buvo gerai žinoma šita kova, jis grūmėsi, visaip keisdamas ginklus.

Quote
Φοβόμαστε το θάνατο, ανατριχιάζουμε στην αστάθεια της ζωής, λυπόμαστε να βλέπουμε τα λουλούδια να μαραίνονται ξανά και ξανά και τα φύλλα που πέφτουν και στις καρδιές μας γνωρίζουμε ότι εμείς, το ίδιο εφήμεροι είμαστε και σύντομα θα εξαφανιστούμε.Όταν οι καλλιτέχνες δημιουργούν εικόνες και οι στοχαστές ψάχνουν για νόμους και δίνουν σώμα στις σκέψεις, είναι για να διασώσουν κάτι από τον θαυμαστό χορό του θανάτου, είναι για να φτιάξουν κάτι το οποίο θα διαρκέσει περισσότερο από ό, τι εμείς.

It is you I have been able to love, you alone in all the world. You can have no idea of what that means. It means a spring in the desert, a blossoming tree in the wilderness.

While one is singing one does not think about whether of not the singing is useful. One simply sings.

Quote
With men one could have clever, uplifting conversations, and men understood the work of an artist; but everything else-idle talk, tenderness, playfulness, love, contentment unmarred by thought-did not flourish among men; for that there had to be women and new places and constantly new impressions.
