- “A palavra Deus não aparece no livro inteiro, por quê? Deus existe!” -
- “Who can speak competently about God, are theologians. So if God exists, he belongs in the real world, and therefore it might be, that you will find something in the book, that touches indirectly on this topic.” -
- “Früher konnte man in Freiheit das Studium nach eigenen Kriterien und Interessen gestalten, heute wird man in berufsorientierte Schemata gepresst und verliert Lebenszeit, Formulare ausfüllend.» -
- “Forms? Career-oriented? Restriction of liberty? It may be, that the new path to culture and veritable formation will lead to rural areas, where the libraries of the past will be dusted off, or new ones will be set up, computers will be added, and the damage caused by the sedentary life will be kept at bay by agricultural work and gymnastics.” -
- « Und Diplome?» ‹
- “Diplomas? If you master the mechanics of machines, the computer technology or know good foreign languages, you don't need one. For medicine, a good private education is very useful, but if you are not studying just out of interest, you will have to go to the big city and adhere to the recently extensive standards of the state.” -
- "Liberty in studies, love at first sight in direct contact, both is possible only without interference from groups, and this has become difficult today. Even the repair of our car is affected by the rules of groups like professional associations. Women tend to present themselves as ugly and devalue themselves, so as not to be rejected by the group at university or at work. Group dynamics have become a universal law of behavior, oppressing individualism. How can we return to a better world era again?" -
- "The Renaissance in Italy was a kind of individualized life based on adventure. The most important adventure was, to discover the principle, that holds the world together: the painter Leonardo da Vinci applied the structural knowledge of art by inventing and building machines. A great adventure is, to read old books, especially from the Middle Ages, to be able to make comparisons with today's reality. Another adventure could be, repairing your own car or planting your own flowers, to have red flowers, if you planted red ones, or blue flowers, if you planted blue ones." -
- «Книга рассказывает о любви с первого взгляда. А что она принесла поэту Пушкину?» -

В конце своей книги вы приводите балет Чайковского «Лебединое озеро» как пример отношений с метафизической составляющей, в данном случае между принцем и лебедем. А что, если бы лебедь был реалистичным, а не романтическим, — могло ли бы это быть плохим выбором?
Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, metaphysical component of the relationship, realistic swan and romantic swan, possibilities of failure:
The logic of the thing depends on two premises. First, whether a metaphysical component really exists in general and, second, whether in a direct encounter it should somehow manifest itself. The fictional logic of Swan Lake leaves only one possibility for failure: the case of the demon winning.
- "What would happen to the fictional depiction of the Real World, if the demon were to conquer all the white swans? An invasion of the Occult World into the Real World?"-
- "If God exists, he logically belongs to the real world, but so does also the demon, whether each of both have a metaphysical component or not.
The Dialectic is a complex structure of logical judgments. In both, the fictional and the real world, dialectical processes are at work mainly during crisis, when the time "paints gray on gray". According to the dialectic formula of Hegel in his "Natural Law", "...the owl of Minerva only begins its flight with the approaching dusk." -
