”Un copil evreu l-a întrebat pe tatăl său:
– Ce înseamnă banii?
– Priveşte, i-a răspuns tatăl.
A luat un ciob de sticlă obişnuită şi l-a pus lângă fereastră. Copilul vedea astfel un ciob, ca într-o oglindă, strada, trecătorii, trăsurile.
– Acum, a spus tatăl, uite-te bine: am să pun bani pe toată oglinda asta. Am s-o acopăr cu bani. Acum nu mai vezi nimic din ceea ce se petrece în stradă. Nu te mai vezi decât pe tine!”Jean-Claude Carriere (povestire filozofică)
”Nu poţi aprinde marea, nici omul să-l convingi
Că fericirea multă adeseori înşală.
Căci cupa care-i plină, uşor chiar de-o atingi,
Se varsă. Dar intactă rămâne cupa goală.”Omar Khayyam, ”Suprema înțelepciune – detașarea”
„Mi se întâmplă mai des decât vreau să recunosc, însă rar atunci când îţi scriu. Încearcă să mă înţelegi: te iubesc şi în acelaşi timp încerc să fiu atent la cele exterioare. La Toulouse pur şi simplu te-am adorat. Te iubesc în seara asta de primăvară. Te iubesc cu fereastra deschisă. Tu eşti a mea şi lucrurile sunt ale mele şi iubirea mea alterează lucrurile din jurul meu, iar lucrurile alterează şi ele iubirea mea.”
Jean-Paul Sartre (către Simone de Beauvoir)
Linkin Park – ”The Messenger”
When you feel you’re alone
Cut off from this cruel world
Your instinct’s telling you to run
Listen to your heart
Those angel voices
They’ll sing to you
They’ll be your guide
Back home
When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind
It keeps us kind
When you’ve suffered enough
And your spirit is breaking
You’re growing desperate from the fight
Remember you’re loved
And you always will be
This melody will bring you right
Back home
When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind
When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhh!
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhh!
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhh!

Jessie Ware – ”Still love me”
See it in your eyes
See it in your face
In your look, see it in you
If I make myself understood
Will you treat me like you know you should?!
Uuuh uh
Still love me, still love me
Still love me, still love me
(Do you love me?)
Still love me
Still love me
See, it’s been a while
Looking through your eyes
I was taken in, taken by surprise
Why did you want me
Why’d you stayed so close?
You’re still not leaving?
Was I enough?
If I make myself understood
Will you treat me like you know you should?!
Still love me
Still love me
(Do you love me?)
Still love me
Still love me
(Do you love me?)
Still love me, still love me
Still love me, still love me
Do you love, do you
Do you love,do you love
Do you still love me
You’re the one that’s more easy to adore
I don’t ever have to leave if you still want me
If I make myself understood
Will you treat me like you know you should?!
(Do you love me?)
Still love me, still love me
(Do you love me?)
Still love me, still love me
(Do you love me?)
Still love me, still love me
(Do you love me?)
Still love me, still love me
Do you love me?
Still love me
Do you, do you, do you love me?
Still love me, still love me
(If I make myself understood)
Still love me, still love me
Will you treat me like you know you should?!
Still love me
Still love me
Still love me
If I make myself understood
Still love me
Will you treat me like you know you should?!
Still love me
Do you love me?
Still love me

The Chemical Brothers – ”Let forever be”
How does it feel like
To wake up in the sun?
And how does it feel like
To shine on everyone?
How does it feel like
To let forever be?
How does it feel like
To spend a little lifetime sitting in the gutter?
Scream a symphony
How does it feel like
To sail in on the breeze?
And how does it feel like
To spend a little lifetime sitting in the gutter?
Scream a symphony
How does it feel like
To make it happen here?
And how does it feel like
To breathe with everything?
And how does it feel like
To let forever be?
And how does it feel like
To spend a little lifetime sitting in the gutter?
Scream a symphony
And how does it feel like
To be a crystal fiend?
And how does it feel like
To spend a little lifetime sitting in the gutter?
Scream a symphony

Gossip – ”Heavy cross”
It’s a cruel, cruel world to face on your own
A heavy cross to carry along
The lights are on but everyone’s gone
And it’s cruel
It’s a funny way to make ends meet
When the lights are out on every street
It feels alright but never complete
Without joy
I checked you, if it’s already been done
Undo it
It takes two, it’s up to me and you
To prove it
On the rainy nights even the coldest days
You’re moments ago but seconds away
The principle of nature, it’s true but
It’s a cruel world
We can play it safe or play it cool
Follow the leader or make up all the rules
Whatever you want, the choice is yours
So choose
I checked you if it’s already been done
Undo it
It takes two and it’s up to me and you
To prove it
I trust you, it’s already been done
Undo it
It takes two, it’s up to me and you
To prove it
I checked you, if it’s already been done
Undo it
It takes two and it’s up to me and you
To prove it
I trust you

Hooverphonic – ”Tomorrow”
It all comes down to winning but defeat is no shame
And why do you loose interest when there’s nothing more to gain
Because evil attracts but our love will be a fact
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Because time is up
And so are we
But still there’s a chance to avoid defeat
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Just a little more effort do try to succeed
There’s nothing in life that’s impossible to beat
Because evil attracts but our love will be a fact
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Because time is up
And so are we
But still there’s a chance to avoid defeat
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Because time is up
And so are we
But still there’s a chance to avoid defeat
Tomorrow

„Există-ndrăgostiţi fericiţi
care rămân împreună,
şi-al căror sărut proaspăt sună…
Auziţi… auziţi…
Există perechi fără moarte,
în mişcare mereie,
cu-o formă a inimii, poate aparte,
semănând a metaforă, semănând a idee.
Aceştia rămân împreună
în sărut, ca-ntr-o dulce furtună.
Auziţi! Auziţi! Auziţi!
Există-ndrăgostiţi fericiţi!”Nina Cassian, ”Postfaţă la o iubire sfârşită”
Ellen Foley – ”What’s a matter, baby”
I know the reason you’ve been cryin’
And I heard that she won’t be needin’ you
How does it feel, bein’ the one left behind?
(What’s a matter, baby?) What’s a matter, baby? Is she hurtin’ you?
And I heard you found out she’s been cheatin’
Oh yeah, and I heard she even told you she was untrue
Well, how does it feel being on the outside lookin’ in?
(What’s a matter, baby?) What’s a matter, baby? Is she hurtin’ you?
What’s a matter, baby? Is she hurtin’ you?
What’s a matter, baby? Is she hurtin’ you?
Remember, remember when I needed you so bad?
Remember what you had to say?
You told me to go find another shoulder to cry on
And you left, you left and then and you walked away
I know, I know that you’ve been askin’ about me
(What’s a matter, baby?) Well, I am sorry baby, but I’ve got somebody new
Woah-woah-woah, my hurt, my hurt, my hurt is just about over
(What’s a matter, baby?) But let me tell you somethin’ baby, it’s just startin’ for you
What’s a matter, baby? Is she hurtin’ you?
What’s a matter, baby, baby, baby? That girl, she been hurtin’ you?
What’s a matter, baby?
What’s the matter, huh?
Come on boy, you can tell me ‘cause I’m a very good friend of yours
Yes, and I know a little bit about pain
Does it hurt?
Aw, does it hurt?
Does it hurt, huh? What’s a matter, baby?

Enigma – ”Following the sun”
Following the sun, to find the one,
Who’s giving you the wings, to fly.
Following the sun, the golden one,
Losing sense for space, and time.
I’m following the sun.
To find the one.
Can you feel, the waves of life?
Can you hear, the sigh of love?
Do you believe in it?
Following the sun, just for the one.
Till you’ll find the door, you thought.
Following the sun, like everyone,
Just searching for a sign, of hope.
I’m following the sun.
To find the one
Have a look up to the sky,
See the billion stars above.
Cause maybe on one of them,
You’ll spend your further life.
Cause maybe on one of them,
You’ll spend your further life.
I’m following the sun.
To find the one
Can you look up to the sky?
See the billion stars above.
Cause maybe on one of them,
You’ll spend your further life.
(Following the sun)

You’ll spend your further life.
(Following the sun)
Cause maybe on one of them,
(Following)
You’ll spend your further life.

Empire of the Sun – ”We are the people”
We can remember
Swimming in December
Heading for the city lights in 1975
We share in each other
Nearer than farther
The scent of a lemon drips from your eyes
We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now, we can try
We lived an adventure
Love in the summer
Followed the sun till night
Reminiscing other times of life
For each every other
The feeling was stronger
The shock hit eleven, got lost in your eyes
I can’t do well
When I think you’re gonna leave me
But I’m gonna try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can’t you be believing now?
I can’t do well
When I think you’re gonna leave me
But I’m gonna try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can’t you be believing now?
Can you remember and humanize?
It was still where we’d energised
Lie in the sand and visualise
Like it’s ’75 again
We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now, we can try
I can’t do well
When I think you’re gonna leave me
But I’m gonna try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can’t you be believing now?
I can’t do well
When I think you’re gonna leave me
But I’m gonna try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can’t you be believing now?
I know everything about you
You know everything about me
We know everything about us
I know everything about you
You know everything about me
We know everything about us
I can’t do well
When I think you’re gonna leave me
But I’m gonna try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can’t you be believing now?
I can’t do well
When I think you’re gonna leave me
But I’m gonna try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can’t you be believing now?
I can’t do well
When I think you’re gonna leave me
But I’m gonna try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can’t you be believing now?
I can’t do well

”Crezi că nu mai poți trăi. Crezi că lumina sufletului tău s-a stins și că vei rămâne pentru totdeauna în întuneric. Dar când ești înghițit de această întunecime deasă, când amândoi ochii îți sunt închiși pentru lume, un al treilea ți se deschide în inimă. Și abia atunci ajungi să-ți dai seama că vederea și cunoașterea lăuntrică se bat cap în cap. Nici un ochi nu vede atât de limpede și de pătrunzător ca ochiul iubirii. După mâhnire vine un alt anotimp, o altă vale, un alt tu. Iar iubitul care nu e de găsit nicăieri, începi să-l vezi pretutindeni.”
Elif Shafak
”Doamne, câtă tristeţe şi frunză!
Te dărui şi n-ai cui,
Te dărui nimănui.
Buzele se desfac zâmbind a milă,
Vinul gâlgâie-n silă.
O durere estompată şi surdă
Bântuie inima mea.
Singurătatea vibrează-n timpane
Cu sunet de scoică,
E ceasul somnului.
Paşi stinşi, paşi stinşi. E ea?
Altcineva.
îţi vine să ţipi de mânie
Că nu simţi părere de rău!
Ceasul somnului. Ochi aţintit.
Orb, surd, cu voce anemică.
Plâns de neputinţă-n infinit.”Nicolae Labiș, ”Ceas greu” (9 mai 1954)
”Iar de va fi vreodată să-mi îngheţe
Emoții, inimă, privire, tot,
Mă-nscriu la doctoratul în tristeţe
Să mă examineze un netot
Lecturi nu am, n-am învățat nimica,
La bibliografie stau cam prost
N-aveţi ce-mi face, nu mă-ncearcă frica
Îmi știu întreaga viaţă pe de rost
Comisia îmi poate pune beţe
În roate și o săgeată în călcâi
Dau singur doctoratul în tristeţe
Și nu mă mir că ies pe locu-ntâi
În lumea voastră de stupide feţe
Sunt doctorul docent pentru tristeţe.”Adrian Păunescu, ”Doctoratul în tristețe”
