Valeriu Gherghel
“Sigur, intuiţia morţii proprii (care este un
fapt tîrziu, o descoperire uimită, cum de nu
mi‑am dat seama ?) produce în minţile noastre măcar o tresărire : „Aha, peste x ani, sau peste x zile, sau peste un ceas, sau peste un minut, sau peste o secundă, sau chiar acum, nu voi mai fi, iar acest univers indiferent, care n‑a constatat niciodată prezenţa mea în cuprinsul lui, nu‑mi va constata nici absenţa. Asta este !”.
Dar, de obicei, intuiţia cu pricina nu devine o obsesie, nu cădem în nevroza aşteptării, dimpotrivă, trăim ca şi cum nu vom muri niciodată şi nu ne gîndim clipă de clipă la sfîrşit, cum cerea stăruitor acelaşi Lucius Annaeus Seneca, într‑un „exerciţiu spiritual”.”
Valeriu Gherghel, Roata plăcerilor: de ce n-au iubit unii înţelepţi cărţile?

Confucius
“Adevărata cunoaștere este a-ți ști dimensiunea ignoranței.”
Confucius

Fredrik Backman
“Never go to a game of anything and shout, “You’re playing like a woman!” at an athlete, as though that word were the definition of weakness. One day, you’ll be holding a woman’s hand as she gives birth and then that’ll make you feel more ashamed than you’ve ever felt about anything. Words matter. Be better.”
Fredrik Backman, Things My Son Needs to Know about the World

“Simplicity Stands as Technology Advances.”
San Mateo

Eddie Jaku
“A field is empty, but if you put in the effort to grow something then you will have a garden. And that’s life. Give something, something will come back. Give nothing, nothing will come back. To grow a flower is a miracle: it means you can grow more. Remember that a flower is not just a flower, it is the start of a whole garden.”
Eddie Jaku, The Happiest Man on Earth
