'Dostoevsky's dead,' said the citizeness, but somehow not very confidently.
'I protest!' Behemoth exclaimed hotly. 'Dostoevsky is immortal!”

“Pribeag cum sunt,
mă simt azi cel mai singuratic suflet,
şi străbătut de-avânt alerg, dar nu ştiu - unde.
Un singur rând mi-e rază şi putere:

în drumul vostru nici o ţintă,
dar poate tocmai de aceea cuceriţi nemărginirea.”
― Lucian Blaga, Poemele luminii
