"While on the one hand," he said, "our most prominent scientists, the inexhaustible heroes of this perennial confusion, have finally and somewhat unfortunately extricated themselves from the metaphor of godhead, they have immediately fallen into the trap of regarding this oppressive history as some kind of triumphant march, a supernatural progress following, what they call, the victory of 'will and intellect', and though, as you know, I am no longer capable of being the least surprised by this, I must confess to you I still cannot understand why it should be the cause of such universal celebration for them that we have climbed out of the trees. Do they think it's good like this? I find nothing amusing in it. Furthermore it doesn't fit us properly: you only have to consider how long, even after thousands of years of practice, we can keep going on two legs. Half a day, my dear friend, and we shouldn't forget it."

Additional quotes by László Krasznahorkai
"كان الجميع يتحدث عن "الاندفاع إلى الفوضى الذى لا يمكن إيقافه"، و "عدم إمكانية توقّع شئ فى الحياة اليومية"، و "الكارثة التى تقترب"، وذلك من غير أية فكرة واضحة عن الثقل الفادح لهذه الكلمات المخيفة. وهذا ما جعله يخلص إلى أن جائحة الخوف تلك لم تكن متولدة عن ثقة حقيقية، تزداد كل يوم، بأن هناك كارثة وشيكة، بل عدوى المخيلة التى كانت قابليتها كبيرة للسقوط فريسة الذعر التى تنتجه بنفسها؛ وهذا يمكن أن يؤدى إلى كارثة فعلية آخر الأمر: بكلمات أخرى، الهاجس الزائف الذى يمكن أن يستسلم له إنسان فقد صوابه عندما تحلل البنية الداخلية لحياته (ترابط عظامه ومفاصله وما بينها)، ويتخلى، لشدة طيشه، عن قوانين روحه التى وضعها الأسلاف... إذا فقد قدرته على ضبط العالم المنظم الذى يحفظ له كرامته. كان يقلقه كثيرًا أن أصدقاءه ظلوا يرفضون الإصغاء إليه رغم محاولاته المتواصلة بإقناعهم بهذا الأمر."

...mert maguk voltak a létezés, miközben a létezésből mégis ki voltak zárva, vagyis oly közel estek a létezéshez, hogy azonossá váltak vele, és a létezés nem látszik soha, így hát ha itt voltak is, amikor nem voltak itt, belőlük soha nem maradt semmi, csak a vágyakozás, hogy jöjjenek, csak a félelem, hogy jönni fognak, csak az emlékük maradt, hogy jártak itt, de a legfájóbb az volt, nézett föl Genji herceg unokája az égre, hogy amelyik egyszer itt volt, az soha többé nem jött vissza.
