    Gellu Naum
    “Urăsc mai presus de toate oamenii care cu o teribilă seriozitate țin în mână chinuitoarea sete de cunoaștere a unora, insomnia altora, delirul liberator al celor mulți, în lugubrul scop de a le putea eticheta cu îngustele lor etichete obscurantiste, îi urăsc cu aceeași pasiune cu care caut să mă înconjor de visurile tuturor nemulțumiților planetelor, ale celor pe totdeauna nemulțumiți, în orice climat, în orice uragan, în orice fund de ocean sau vârf de munte.”

    “With a truly tragic delusion,” Carl Jung noted, “these theologians fail to see that it is not a matter of proving the existence of the light, but of blind people who do not know that their eyes could see. It is high time we realized that it is pointless to praise the light and preach it if nobody can see it. It is much more needful to teach people the art of seeing.”
    ― Carl Jung
