Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour when every one has to throw off his mask? Do you believe that life will always let itself be mocked? Do you think you can slip away a little before midnight to avoid this?

عصر ما به موجب ذات خود، عصر تعمّق و فهم است، امّا از شور و شوق خالی است. همه کس همه چیز را می داند، همه کس می داند به چه راهی باید رفت و هر راه با راه دیگر چه تفاوت های جزئی ای دارد، امّا هیچ کس اراده ی حرکت ندارد.
I feel as if I were a piece in a game of chess, when my opponent says of it: That piece cannot be moved.
