"Sunt superior atat cat sa inteleg
ca nu sunt destul de superior,
si nimic mai mult.
Poate, cu trecerea anilor, imbecilitatea mea
va deveni mai mare, si atunci voi fi,
daca nu mai fericit, in orice caz mai putin chinuit."
Giovanni Papini - Un om sfarsit

/"I am superior just enough to be able to understand
that I am not superior enough,
and nothing more.
Maybe, as the years pass, my imbecillity
will increase, and then I shall be,
if not happier, in any case less tortured."
Giovanni Pappini - Un uomo finito

"That obsession with one's own image,
that's man's fatal immaturity. It is so difficult to
be indifferent to one's image. Such indifference is
beyond human strength. One becomes capable of it only
after death. And even then it doesn't happen at once,
but only a long time after death."
Milan Kundera - Immortality

"- Cat curaj iti trebuie oare ca sa te arunci in prapastie?
- Nu iti trebuie curaj, ci o prapastie destul de adanca."

Daca Dumnezeu ar uita pentru o clipa ca nu sunt decat
o papusa de carpa si mi-ar oferi in dar o bucatica de viata,
{cum adica o bucatica de viata? nu a facut-o deja?}
[...] as da valoare lucrurilor marunte, dar nu pentru ce
valoreaza ele, ci mai curand pentru ceea ce ele semnifica.
As dormi mai putin [...],
de-abia acum inteleg ca pentru fiecare minut in care
inchidem ochii pierdem saizeci de secunde de lumina.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

I dreamed I called you on the telephone
to say: be kinder to yourself
but you were sick and would not answer.

The waste of my life goes on this way
Trying to save you from yourself.

Adrienne Rich - for the Dead

Reality is an illusion born by
the lack of enough alcohol...

Flying is the art of throwing yourself
repeatedly against the ground and missing.
