― Irwin Shaw

“If an imaginative boy has a sufficiently rich mother who has intelligence, personal grace, dignity of character without harshness, and a cultivated sense of the best art of her time to enable her to make her house beautiful, she sets a standard for him against which very few women can struggle, besides effecting for him a disengagement of his affections, his sense of beauty, and his idealism from his specifically sexual impulses.”
― George Bernard Shaw, Pygmalion

“Sunt si alte lucruri esentiale pentru un tanar. Sunt lucruri care il privesc mai direct decat dragostea. Majoritatea oamenilor de astazi sunt umiliti de societate, sunt anihilati de evenimente. Aproape nimeni din noi nu mai poate creste in voie, nu-si mai poate implini destinul lui...Ideile care circula astazi fara a mai intampina vreo rezistenta, sentimentele-tipar, mari si sterpe, care ne coplesesc-atentatul acesta la fiinta noastra e mult mai grav. Tu nu crezi ca avem si alte datorii decat de a iubi o femeie pana la moarte?”
― Mircea Eliade, Huliganii

“And it is because you don't know the end and purpose of things that you think the wicked and the criminal have power and happiness.”
― Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy
