“Triunghiul Mortii: Traim, domnule, intr-o lume fara onoare si fara limite morale. Cum as putea fi fericit? Poate dumneavoastra, oamenii politici, s-o duceti altfel. Vorbiti de clasa noastra politica, ei bine, ea confirma ca am ajuns o tara plina de secaturi. O tara minora, cazuta rusinos la examenul de capacitate in fata europei. Aici ne-au adus politicienii ordinari! Hotii, improvizati astazi in moralisti. Ministrii ce s-au vandut o viata-ntreaga. Parlamentari contrabandisti. Boala o avem in suflet, exista o epidemie infricosatoare de meningita morala, iar tara trebuia sa ajunga aici tarata pe marginea prapastiei de unii conducatori care sunt hoti la drumul mare.”

“Câtă viaţă ai pus în gânduri, atâta moarte este în tine.”
― Emil Cioran, Cartea amăgirilor

“After a sleepless night, the people in the street seem automatons. No one seems to breathe, to walk. Each looks as if he is worked by clockwork: nothing spontaneous; mechanical smiles, spectral gesticulations. Yourself a specter, how would you see others as alive?”
― Emil M. Cioran, The Trouble With Being Born

“Ideas come as you walk, Nietzsche said. Walking dissipates thoughts, Shankara taught.

Both theses are equally well-founded, hence equally true, as each of us can discover for himself in the space of an hour, sometimes of a minute. …”
