“Nu gasesti umilitor ca ai fi putut fi cu desavarsire altul daca te-ai fi nascut la New York in loc de a te naste la Bucuresti? Noi toti suntem din intamplare asa cum suntem. Am fi putut citi alte carti in liceu, am fi putut cunoaste alti oameni, am fi putut calatori in alte tari, am fi putut iubi alte femei...”
― 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.”

“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
