"

If it were not for the spirit imprisoned in the body, there would be no life. We have no right to speak separately of spirit and body. We do not know and have no way of knowing one or the other separated, but neither can we conceive of our life without this separation, because we know that our whole life is incessant destruction of the body and clarification of the spirit. Through death the complete destruction of the body is accomplished and the purification of the spirit which then disappears.

Romanian

"Dacă n-ar fi spiritul întemnițat în trup, n-ar fi viața. Nu avem nici un drept să vorbim separat despre spirit și trup. Nu cunoaștem și nu avem cum să le cunoaștem pe unui sau pe celălalt despărțite, dar nici nu putem concepe viața noastră fără această despărțire, fiindcă știm că întreaga noastra viața e distrugere neîncetată a trupului și limpezire a spiritului. Prin moarte se săvârșește deplina distrugere a trupului și limpezirea spiritului care apoi dispare."
