“Christus hat unsterbliches Leben geschaffen durch das, was Menschen durch ihn begriffen haben. Das ist Kunst.”

“Ich verbrenne, so wie ich mein ganzes Leben lnag verbrannt bin. Ich weiß nicht, was das heißt.”

“ach, gebt mir meinen Tod, damit ich bleibe”

“ach! wüßtet ihr wie schwer es ist,wenn man gehängt ist und nicht sterben kann!!”

“Hay que ser tan viejo como la Creación, y al mismo tiempo tan joven como si aún no se hubiera nacido... Hay que entregarse, abandonarse. Hay que perderse y volverse a encontrar. Las llamas del alma no deben apagarse nunca. ¡Hay que arder sin cesar, hay que quemarse y apagarse y volverse a encender!”

“One should judge a man mainly from his depravities. Virtues can be faked. Depravities are real.”

“I don't need anybody to tell me how to be alive.”

“I've solved the mystery: You have to submit silently. Open up, let go. Let anything penetrate you, even the most painful things. Endure. Bear up. That's the magic key! The text comes by itself, and its meaning shakes the soul ... You mustn't let scar tissue form on your wounds; you have to keep ripping them open in order to turn your insides into a marvelous instrument that is capable of anything. All this has its price.”
