“She was done, gone. She had been comfortable, and comfort is the death of the soul, which is by nature searching, insistent, unsatisfied. This dissatisfaction drives the soul to leave, to get lost, to be lost, to struggle and adapt. And adaptation is growth, and growth is life. A human’s choice is either to see new things, mountains, waterfalls, deadly storms and seas and volcanoes, or to see the same man-made things endlessly reconfigured.”

“This may be illustrated by the Taoist story of a farmer whose horse ran away. That evening the neighbors gathered to commiserate with him since this was such bad luck. He said, “May be.” The next day the horse returned, but brought with it six wild horses, and the neighbors came exclaiming at his good fortune. He said, “May be.” And then, the following day, his son tried to saddle and ride one of the wild horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. Again the neighbors came to offer their sympathy for the misfortune. He said, “May be.” The day after that, conscription officers came to the village to seize young men for the army, but because of the broken leg the farmer’s son was rejected. When the neighbors came in to say how fortunately everything had turned out, he said, “May be.”14”

“- Ех, момиче, нека ти кажа и аз нещо. Животът, любовта и децата не ни прнадлежат. Имат си собствени закони и собствен път. Идват точно когато са ни нужни и си отиват пак така, но никога случайно. По тяхната си логика, не по нашата. Затова много често не ги разбираме. Можем да направим само едно - да ги приемем с благодарност, когато дойдат, да им даден вичко най-красиво от себе си и да ги изпратим пак с благодарност, че са споделили себе си с нас. Не тъгувай, Марина, и запомни: любовта не свършва и не умира, тя просто си отива... На друго място, при други сърца. И се връща при теб с друго лице, с друго сърце. Понякога със същото лице, със същия човек, но само тя знае защо отново ви среща. Явно не сме дорасли да познаваме тайната й. А може би истината е толкова близо до очите ни и толкова просто, че не я виждаме. Казах проста, но това не я прави лесна. (Демир)”
