Andrei Vasilachi

“Am închis citatul

De câte ori închid citatul,
Simt în mine
Nu ştiu ce secretă jubilaţie
De poliţist:
L-am închis şi pe-ăsta,
Mama lui de porc!”
― Marin Sorescu, Poezii

“Старшая была музыкантша, средняя была замечательный живописец; но об этом почти никто не знал многие годы, и обнаружилось это только в самое последнее время, да и то нечаянно. Одним словом, про них говорилось чрезвычайно много похвального. Но были и недоброжелатели. С ужасом говорилось о том, сколько книг они прочитали.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Идиот (Полное собрание сочинений Book 6)

“The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous, and it is now approaching a point of crisis overall.”
― Edward O. Wilson

“CONSIDER the herds that are feeding yonder: they know not the meaning of yesterday or to-day; they graze and ruminate, move or rest, from morning to night, from day to day, taken up with their little loves and hates, at the mercy of the moment, feeling neither melancholy nor satiety. Man cannot see them without regret, for even in the pride of his humanity he looks enviously on the beast's happiness. He wishes simply to live without satiety or pain, like the beast; yet it is all in vain, for he will not change places with it. He may ask the beast—"Why do you look at me and not speak to me of your happiness?" The beast wants to answer—"Because I always forget what I wished to say": but he forgets this answer too, and is silent; and the man is left to wonder.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Untimely Meditations
