I have wasted 40 years on pilgrimages to two or three corners of this world in order to find the philosopher's stone called Truth. I consulted all the admirers of antiquity, Epicurus and Augustine, Plato and Malebranche, but I remained as poor as at first.
""Mi-am irosit 40 de ani în pelerinaje în două-trei colțuri ale lumii ăsteia, cu scopul de a găsi piatra filozofală numită Adevăr. M-am consultat cu toți admiratorii antichității, cu Epicur și cu Augustin, cu Platon și Malebranche, dar am rămas la fel de sărac ca la început."
