“And this book is - instead of my body,
And this word is - instead of my soul.”
Grigor Narekatsi, The Book of Sadness

“Չես երևում երբեք, բայց առանց լույսիդ չի տեսնվում ոչինչ...”
Grigor Narekatsi, Մատյան ողբերգության

“Պաղատում եմ քեզ, լույսի՛ ճառագայթ, արքա՛ երկնավոր,
Գովյալ անապատում, և անճառ Որդիդ դու մեծ Աստուծո.
Ականջ դիր դարձյալ և այժըմ ահա՛,
Բարձրյալ, բարեգութ, կյանքի ապավեն,
Վիրավորյալիս նվազաձայն հառաչանքներին:”
Grigor Narekatsi, Մատյան ողբերգության
