सांस का भरोसा ही क्या और इसी नश्वरता पर हम अभिलाषाओं के कितने विशाल भवन बनाते हैं! नहीं जानते, नीचे जानेवाली सांस ऊपर आयेगी या नहीं, पर सोचते इतनी दूर की हैं, मानो हम अमर हैं।
“इसी वनवास में मैं यह भी जान पाई कि ॠषि-मुनि वन में जाकर तपस्या क्यों किया करते है। निसर्ग और मानव का नाता अनादि अनंत है। ये दोनाें मानो जुड़वाँ भाई हैं। इसीलिए निसर्ग के सान्निध्य में जीवन अपनी सारी सच्चाइयाँ लेकर हमारे सामने प्रकट हो जाता है। मानव यह समझने लगता है कि जीवन की असली शक्ति क्या है और उसकी सही-सही मर्यादाएं क्या हैं। मानव निसर्ग से दूर हो जाता है तो उसका जीवन एकांगी होने लगता है। उस कृत्रिम और एकांगी जीवन में उसकी कल्पनाएं, भावनाएं, वासनाएं सब अवास्तविक और विकृत बन जाती हैं। वो तो मेरा सौभाग्य था जो अभागिन होते हुए भी मैं यहाँ आई और जीवन की जड़ में जो सत्य हुआ करता है उसका दर्शन कर सकी।”

“Creativeness is quite a different state of being, is it not? It is a state in which the self is absent, in which the mind is no longer a focus of our experiences, our ambitions, our pursuits and our desires. Creativeness is not a continuous state, it is new from moment to moment, it is a movement in”
