... no one exists by itself. People, this country where they were born, and a farm or a city apartment, where they learned to walk, the games they played as kids and gossip that they had a chance to eavesdrop, and the food they were fed, the school where they were taught the sport that they are fond of, poets who read and the God in whom he believed.

Death ends all, so it is a natural conclusion of any plot.

If love is not passion, then it is not love, but something else; and passion not to fade, need satisfaction, and barriers.

Let the noon rose loses its beauty, which was with her at dawn, but then her beauty is real. In the world everything has an end, it is unreasonable to ask that something good lasted, but foolish not to enjoy it while it lasts.

I was particularly captivated by the idea that to grasp the Reality by using knowledge.
