“Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path.

No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow capable of sustaining a house or a structure that is already rotten. They are the engineers of the superseded.

Other people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has just ruined everything.

Keeping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it - which of these two attitudes is the least destructive?

I don't know.”
― Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

Generally speaking, these meetings occur when we reach a limit, when we need to die and be reborn emotionally. These meetings are waiting for us, but more often than not, we avoid them happening.

“Frica e peste tot. Se camuflează atât de bine, încât ajungem să o confundăm cu vina. Apoi vina ne face să ne simțim mărunți și neputincioși. Neputința ne face să ne simțim inutili. Iar din momentul ăla ne abandonăm pentru că nu ne mai dăm nicio șansă. Frica își face loc în cele mai mărunte unghere ale minții. Iar noi o creștem ca pe cel mai de preț animal de companie. Și putem să o alungăm atât de simplu. Prin responsabilitate. Atât. Responsabilitate față de noi înșine.”
― Adrian Teleşpan, Cimitirul
