“Time passed. But time flows in many streams. Like a river, an inner stream of time will flow rapidly at some places and sluggishly at others, or perhaps even stand hopelessly stagnant. Cosmic time is the same for everyone, but human time differs with each person. Time flows in the same way for all human beings; every human being flows through time in a different way.”
― Yasunari Kawabata, Beauty and Sadness

“Defeat, my defeat, my deathless courage, You and I shall laugh together with the storm, And together we shall dig graves for all that die in us, and we shall stand in the sun with a will, And we shall be dangerous”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Madman

“Omul e un univers inchis cu legile-i proprii care-i comanda viata efemera, tot atat de departe de ceilalti oameni ca si un astru de ceilalti astri, fara niciun mijloc de comunicare reala cu nimeni.Iluzia comunitatii cu alti semeni te inseala numai pana in momentul unei mari zdruncinari sufletesti cand deodata iti dai seama ca nici parintii, nici fratii, nici prietenii, nimeni nu te poate nici ajuta, nici macar intelege...”
― Liviu Rebreanu, Jar

“The ugly truth is that a great number of men--young men in particular--have a passion to kill. They only need a pretext of a cause. One time, it's for religion; another, it may be for Fascism or to defend democracy. Their urge to kill is so great it surpasses their fear of being killed. This is a truth forbidden to utter, but true nonetheless. Those Nazis ready to kill and die for Hitler would under other circumstances be as ready to do the same for Stalin. There hasn't been a foolish ambition or an insanity for which people weren't ready to die.”
― Isaac Bashevis Singer, Shosha
