   • 2013, Julia Sigmond and Sen Rosen, Libazar' Kaj Tero:

     Neniam kristaliĝis rigoraj dogmoj, neniam formiĝis komandejoj kaj juĝistejoj; spontane plifirmiĝis tradicioj: inklino al naturaj kaj homaj belaĵoj, emo konservi kaj protekti ilin, promenadoj en la naturo, naĝado, praktikado de inteligentaj ludoj (goo-ludo, ŝakoj, briĝo, triktrako, enigmoarto ...), vegetarismo, rifuzo pri efemeraj laŭmodaĵoj.

     Rigorous dogmas never crystalized, command centers and courts never formed; traditions spontaneously became firmer: an inclination to beautiful natural things and people, an inclination to conserve and protect them, walks in nature, swimming, practice of intelligent games (Go, Chess, Bridge, Backgammon, puzzles ...), vegetarianism, a refusal of ephemeral fads.
