'How sad! We can only see as much of life as we can say! Whereas his imagination has a fairy who slipped away when we want to catch him. That's why we think there's nothing but what we can see around us. We can't realize that the attempt to put everything into words is actually trying to stop time. Whereas the brain has a sense of taste, how it perceives odor. We take from him as much as we can only express in words, but we know it and keep the rest in the land of imagination. Then we beg that fairy to bring what already belongs to us. Because man is indeed a king who has been torn away from his own country, far from the riches he possesses. Man thinks that he doesn't have a treasure due to his inability to see his treasure.'
