“...for whether we want to or not, we belong to our time and we share in its opinions, its feelings, even its delusions.”

“We are not just visitors on this planet, it belongs to us just as we belong to her, its past is ours, so is its future.”

“It's only before realities set in that we can treasure our delusions.”

“Whatever condition we are in, we must always do what we want to do, and if we want to go on a journey, then we must do so and not worry about our condition, even if it's the worst possible condition, because, if it is, we're finished anyway, whether we go on the journey or not, and it's better to die having made the journey we're been longing for than to be stifled by our longing.”

“We have shared the incommunicable experience of war, we have felt, we still feel, the passion of life to its top. In our youth our hearts were touched with fire.”

“We never cease wanting what we want, whether it's good for us or not.”
