Cosmin Stancu

“An intellectual? Yes. And never deny it. An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. I like this, because I am happy to be both halves, the watcher and the watched. "Can they be brought together?" This is a practical question. We must get down to it. "I despise intelligence" really means: "I cannot bear my doubts.”
― Albert Camus

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Ramanea ca totul e vanitate...si luna inclina spre apus cu o lumina de spaima peste orasul adormit in zapada, reflectandu-se si pe multe fotografii de portelan prin cimitire... Nu stiu cine a pus sa stea in aer o foaie de hartie pe un fir de paianjen si o singuratate din toate timpurile sa doarma pe acesti pereti.”
― George Bacovia, Bucăţi de noapte

“
Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. An intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you'll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way.”
― Janet Fitch, White Oleander
