[1994]

“I came to a wise man and asked him:
‘What is love?’ He said: ‘Nothing.’
But I know that many books have been written:
Some say it is eternity, others that it is a moment.
Sometimes it scorches with fire, sometimes it melts like snow;
What is love? ‘It is everything human!’
And then I looked him straight in the face:
How am I to understand you? ‘Nothing or everything?’
He said with a smile: ‘You have answered yourself:
Nothing or everything—there is no middle ground here!’
Omar Khayyam

“It always seems that people love us because we are good. We do not realize that they love us because those who love us are good.”

“The eternal thrones of snow,
Their peaks seemed to the eye
An immovable chain of clouds,
And within their circle, the colossal two-headed one,
Shining in an icy crown,
Elbrus, immense and majestic,
Whitened against the blue sky.”

A. S. Pushkin, “The Prisoner of the Caucasus”

“Standing at the summit of a mountain, we gaze into the abyss. Having fallen into the chasm, we contemplate the sky.”

Victor Hugo, “The Man Who Laughs”

“Life in this world is a dream of oblivion that separates a person from reality. Like someone who, having seen a fleeting dream, forgets the native city where they lived for years, the soul surrenders to the illusion and dream of this world and forgets its true homeland. It does not understand that this destructive world clouds the eyes, just as a cloud conceals the stars.” Jalaluddin Rumi
