“So fuck me, Fuck me in ten different positions to the content of your heart. Until I become just a woman from a goddess. And when your blood stops flowing to your crotch, maybe... maybe I’ll finally meet the man. The man who just told me he wants to listen to me all night—the stories I’ve been trying to scream.”

“Noise is the work of the devil
It clutters your mind and brings you a fix
It makes you feel full but leaves you with a void
a distraction that's a flicker of light
a tool used to keep you dull
Silence is the work of God
It empties your mind letting go of worries
It fills your cup with peace and hope
a meditation making you bright as the sun
a freedom to find yourself”

“But a man cannot just be a man anymore, can he? Freedom comes with so many price tags. I can’t just be a writer. I have to be a salesman too pretending just to sell a cup of coffee. Just to pay bills.”

“We can conceive of nothing except in terms of our own life, and beyond that, it seems to us everything is wiped out. Beyond death, in fact, begins the inconceivable which we are usually not brave enough to face. Yet the inconceivable is the expression of our own impotence. We know that death destroys nothing, leaves the totality of existence intact, but we still cannot imagine the continuity of being as a whole beyond our own death, or whatever it is that dies in us.”

“Love is the answer to everything. Yet this answer cannot be understood by thought or words alone, it must be felt and lived. One may describe love, speak of it, hear it, and imagine it, but true comprehension lies only in the experience of it. This unconditional feeling is what the world longs for, the cure to its divisions. Love gives life, joy, peace, meaning, and harmony. The absence of love gives pain, sorrow, and emptiness. Mankind endlessly seeks for purpose, yet the deepest purpose has always been before us, and that is love. To step outside of love is to step into what is undeniably wrong. But why is love good, and evil evil? When we look upon beauty, when we marvel at the creation of the world, when our hearts yearn for love, we glimpse the truth. Such a gift cannot arise from nothing. It flows from a Being who Himself is love. Though some may deny it, the truth remains, our Creator is the source of love, and in Him we find the answer. To know love is to breathe purpose. To give love is to heal the world. To receive love is to discover your worth. And to abide in love is to encounter the heart of a loving creator Himself. Why then, is it the true answer? Because - love is the answer to everything.”

“So, you don't know where you're from, you don't know where you're going, and you don't know who you are. In place of the nothing that you know, there are words 'Nikolai' and numbers '1987', you are merely letters and numbers, you are merely an idea, you are merely a thought. Nothing more.”

“And since my life is far from done and is changing every day, this won't be my final answer, but after all I've been through I'd like to say this about my life right now, from the bottom of my heart: just being here is all right by me.”
