It’s simple. Simple but, of course, not easy.
“Es neprotu ne pareizu klavierspēli, ne dzīves spēli, nekad, nekad neesmu to pratis, vienmēr esmu bijis pārāk steidzīgs, vienmēr pārāk nepacietīgs, vienmēr noticis kaut kas neparedzēts, vienmēr spēle pārtrūkusi... Bet kurš gan prot pareizi spēlēt, un, ja arī prot, tad ko tas viņam līdz? Vai lielā tumsa tāpēc ir mazāk tumša, vai neatbildami jautājumi tāpēc kļuvuši mazāk bezcerīgi, vai izmisums par mūžīgo nepietiekamību tāpēc ir mazāk sāpīgs, un vai dzīvi tāpēc ir iespējams izskaidrot un saņemt grožos un jāt kā rāmu zirgu, vai arī tā vienmēr ir kā varena bura, kas vētrā mūs nes, bet, kad mēs to gribam satvert, ielingo mūs ūdenī?
Reizēm manā priekšā paveras bedre, kas šķiet sniedzamies pat līdz zemes centram. Kas to aizpilda? Ilgas? Izmisums? Laime? Un kāda? Nogurums? Rezignācija? Nāve? Kādēļ es dzīvoju? Jā, kādēļ es dzīvoju?”
― The Black Obelisk

“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.”

“Es pieceļos un pārlaižu acis istabai. Griesti ir zemi un slīpi, un telpa nav liela, bet man tajā ir viss, kas vajadzīgs, - gulta, plaukts ar grāmatām, galds, pāris krēslu un vecas klavieres.”

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect).”

“Tas ir savādi: pienākuma apziņa cilvēkam ir pirms divdesmit pieciem un pēc trīsdesmit pieciem gadiem; pirmajā reizē aiz ideālisma, vēlāk aiz praktiskiem apsvērumiem. - Pa vidu ir untumu un neaprēķināmu ideju laiks.”
