Quotes

Sarian (second from bottom left) pictured beside a monumental medieval khatchkar at the Armenian monastery of Sanahin in 1902

Nature's ways are wonderful and unfathomable. Sanahin ("Սանահին" in Armenian) is a village in the Northern Lorri province of Armenia, now considered part of the city of Alaverdi The grain swells in the soil, the sprout grows and flowers when the time comes and then it bears new fruit and so does not die. We are like grain. We never die because we are One with Nature. To understand this is to comprehend Immortality--the Apotheosis of the Human Race. It is with this conviction that I have lived my Life. My Life is a store of my experience, a Life of aspirations, sorrows, joys and triumphs. (M. Saryan)

Life is an island. People come out of the sea, cross the island, and return to the sea. But this short life is long and beautiful. In getting to know nature man exalts the wonder and beauty of life (M. Saryan)
