William S. Burroughs
“If I had my way we'd sleep every night all wrapped around each other like hibernating rattlesnakes.”
William S. Burroughs

Mircea-Horia Simionescu
“Da, as face o arta a neputintelor, o arta a impotentelor, a inapetentelor si, daca s-ar putea, o arta a starii pe loc. (...) Ma obsedeaza ideea de a gasi virtuti in situatiile nenorocite in care te aduc evenimentele. Nemaiavind puterea tineretii, acum te lafai in neputinta, te asezi intr-o pozitie de satisfactie si zici: "A, asta-i un cistig!" Esti neputincios fizic si poti vorbi sau poti ride de neputinta.”
Mircea-Horia Simionescu

Richard Dawkins
“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion: A Study of Religious Belief and Skepticism

Mircea-Horia Simionescu
“Convingerea mea este ca artistul nu are nevoie de liniste sufleteasca si de calm. Trebuie sa fie intr-un surd conflict sau intr-o permanenta stare de iritare. Ca umilit, ca ocolit, ca neluat in seama. Cind aud atitea indemnuri pe la televiziune si radio, "Sa gindesti pozitiv!", spun: "Sunteti niste prosti!". Ma enerveaza teribil aceste indemnuri. E nevoie de starea conflictuala, de neprevazut, care te duce, prin intimplare si printr-un mecanism pe care nu-l stapinesti, la realizari palpabile. Ce e aia, "Gindeste pozitiv si stai linistit!"? Trece viata pe linga tine...”
Mircea-Horia Simionescu

Thomas Bernhard
“Instead of committing suicide, people go to work.”
Thomas Bernhard, Correction
