Camil Petrescu
“Emoţiile mortale sunt intense, palide şi egale. Cei cu adevărat în stare să sufere sufleteşte au şi orgoliul de a refula totul, au şi durerea inferiorităţii lor de o clipă - şi poate că tocmai această comprimare mistuie şi doare mai mult, deci e de presupus că tocmai cei mândri, care îşi ascund simţirea, sunt cei care, şi mai ales prin asta, suferă cu adevărat.”
Camil Petrescu, Patul lui Procust

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“Îndată ce aveam cozonăcelul la îndemână, închis în camera mea, îmi scoteam sticla din fundul vreunui dulap, şi ce chefuri trăgeam de unul singur, în timp ce citeam câteva pagini de roman! Căci a citi în timp ce mănânc a fost totdeauna un nărav al meu, din lipsă de a fi cu cineva. În felul acesta, înlocuiesc compania pe care n-o am. Înghit, rând pe rând, o pagină şi o îmbucătură: e ca şi cum cartea s-ar ospăta împreună cu mine.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Confesiuni II

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“I look up at the night sky, and I know that, yes, we are part of this Universe, we are in this Universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the Universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact, I look up—many people feel small, because they’re small and the Universe is big, but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson

Noam Chomsky
“That comes to about one hundred million people in India alone from 1947 to 1980. But we don’t call that a crime of democratic capitalism. If we were to carry out that calculation throughout the world… I wont even talk about it. But Sen is correct; they’re not intended, just like the Chinese famine wasn’t intended. But they are ideological and institutional crimes, and capitalist democracy and its advocates are responsible for them, in whatever sense supporters of so-called Communism are responsible for the Chinese famine. We don’t have the entire responsibility, but certainly a large part of it”
Noam Chomsky, Power and Terror: Post-9/11 Talks and Interviews

Mircea Eliade
“The joy of life is not a profane type of enjoyment: it reveals the bliss of existing, of sharing in the spontaneity of life and the majesty of the world.”
Mircea Eliade
