From a wounded soul emanates love. Love is the blood of the soul.

The misfortune of this existence is that we are living off of our soul and we are afraid of the slightest of her movements.

Freedom's just overused word, it was like a huge clamp, in which the same passes and the elephant, the horse, and a donkey: every animal can fit through this collar, and who remains in place.

Ministers make speeches, referring to the city councils, the Congress, the advice of Congress, to the provincial committees County, township and village. But in all these conventions, boards and committees, and various self-styled Ministers also say the speech, and so all of Russia is making a speech, and nobody does anything, and the whole of Russia a continuous meeting of people.

It took some time, and I got used to this sore spot: not so good, and otherwise became to understand everything in the world: not in width and in depth, and the whole world for me changed, and people began to get to me quite different.

Asceticism as a goal is the greatest absurdity. He is the cover of hypocrites and hypocrisy. True asceticism is itself, as PA wrinkles the forehead, as a consequence of profound experiences.

The idea of eternity is born from a love of life, when all the love focused on the present moment, this moment, the authenticity after it becomes like an eternity. Eternity is the force of life, and then endless joy.
