"For a healthy person, life is, in fact, only an unconscious escape, in which he does not recognize himself - an escape from the thought that sooner or later he will die. The disease is both a reminder of death and a test of endurance. Therefore, illness, pain, suffering are the most important sources of religiosity.

""Pentru o persoană sănătoasă, viața este, de fapt, doar o evadare inconștientă, în care ea însăși nu se recunoaște - o evadare din gândul că mai devreme sau mai târziu va muri. Boala este în același timp și un memento mori, și un test de rezistență. Prin urmare, boala, durerea, suferința sunt cele mai importante surse de religiozitate."
