    “The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.”

    Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
    “My dear,
    A soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.

    For the world has given up on beauty. It doesn’t believe in fairytales anymore, or happy endings.

    So a soul that sees beauty is a soul thought to be insane by the majority. They call it stuck up, delusional, and abnormal – all because it sees something better that it can hold out for.

    But, if my words mean anything – hold out for that beauty. Walk alone until you grab it. The pain of walking alone against the stream is worth it.

    Falsely yours”
    Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

    Ionel Teodoreanu
    “Ştii să asculţi? Auzi vântul la fereastră? Auzi păsările care pleacă şi se întorc, ducând şi aducând primăvara? Ştii ce-i nostalgia? Priveşti uneori pe fereastră fără să vezi nimic? Sunt pe acolo şi într-acele, fără fiinţă, o apropiere şi o îndepărtare în preajma ta. Gândeşte-te la mine ca la o stea desprinsă din tine şi dusă în întunericul fără fund.”
    Ionel Teodoreanu, Lorelei

    “Suntem doua liberatati. Dragostea noastra nu e umilinta, e o mandrie. Nu vreau sa te coplesesc, sa-ti limitez viata numai la mine. N-as avea nici o bucurie sa am alaturi de mine un prizonier. Nu-ti cer decat dragostea ta. Aceea e a mea si numai a mea. N-o impart cu nimeni. Asa cum nici tu nu vei imparti cu nimeni dragostea mea. Dar dincolo de dragoste esti liber a trai cum vrei.”
    Ionel Teodoreanu, Lorelei
