Every person consists of a dozen of the hundreds of thousands of souls.

The laity are children, my son. And the saints - those don't come to us to confess. We, you and me and like us, the hermits, the searchers, hermits, we are not children, and not innocent, and we no thrashing is not correct. The real sinners are we, we who know and think, we have tasted from the tree of knowledge, and we ought not to treat each other as children, which shall cut he shall cut down and let go to run. We're after confession and repentance can't run back to kids world, where they celebrate the holidays, work things, and at the same time and kill each other, sin for us - not a short, bad dream, from which you can get rid of by confession and sacrifice; we dwell in him, we are never innocent, we are sinners, we are constantly in sin and the fire of our conscience and we know that we can never atone for my great guilt, except that after our death God will have mercy on us and forgive.

Retreats not to look, not settle down,
Step by step, without sorrow,
Walk forward to go from Dali to Dali,
Increasingly to be higher up!
Sucks the circle of habits cute,
Comfort rest full of temptation,
But only those who have places to be in power
Save your spirit from decay.
And even near the entrance deathly
Life again, you see, we clicked the rallying cry.
And the path will begin again continuous.
Say bye heart, and okrepnem again.

True humor begins when a man ceases to take himself seriously.

It is possible to observe human stupidity, you can laugh at her or feel her compassion, but it is not necessary to interfere with people to go my way.

I loved twice in my life - I mean, really- and both times was convinced that all this forever and will end only with my death; and both times it ran out and I died.

For a warrior main to remain perfect in his own eyes.

The world was captivated by his pleasure, sensuality, laziness, and, in the end the Vice, which he always considered the most ridiculous and which he held with the greatest contempt and mockery greed.

Learning to turn some of their senses in thought, the adult notices the absence of those thoughts and believes that nothing experienced.

The first time I tasted death, and death tastes bitter because it is birth, this is awe and fear of terrifying novelty.

I just only wanted to try to live on what it was torn out of me
Why was that so hard?
