“I am going to tell you something strange. It seems ever more to me that there is no time. Everything on earth exists outside of time, otherwise how could I know about the future that has not occurred? I think time is given to us by the grace of God so we will not get mixed up, because a person’s consciousness cannot take in all events at once. We are locked up in time because of our weakness.”

“You know, O friend, any meeting is surely more than parting. There is emptiness before meeting someone, just nothing, but there is no longer emptiness after parting. After having met someone once, it is impossible to part completely. A person remains in the memory, as a part of the memory. The person created that part and that part lives, sometimes coming into contact with its creator. Otherwise, how would we sense those dear to us from a distance?”

“Spring was at hand." I believe I might
recover, "I thought," if I could get out of this shell into the light of day, into the fields and woods. "It was so long
since I had seen them. I remember, too, it came into my mind how nice it would be if by some magic, some
enchantment, I could forget everything that had happened in the last few years; forget everything, refresh my
mind, and begin again with new energy. In those days, I still dreamed of that and hoped for a renewal of life.
"Better go into an asylum," I thought, "to get one's brain turned upside down and rearranged anew, and then be
cured again.”
― The Insulted and Humiliated

“My brother used to ask the birds to forgive him; that sounds senseless but it is right; for all is like the ocean, all things flow and touch each other; a disturbance in one place is felt at the other end of the world.”
