”Tat: Atunci, tată, sunt cu totul neputincios s-o fac.
Hermes: Ferească Zeul, fiule! Cheamă la tine şi va veni, doreşte, şi se va împlini; leapădă lucrarea simţurilor trupului, iar Divinitatea ta se va naşte; curăţă-te de chinurile animalice, de lucrurile materiei.
Tat: Am eu vreun lucru chinuitor în mine, tată?
Hermes: Da, şi nu puţine, ci multe, şi încă de temut.
Tat: Eu nu le cunosc, tată.
Hermes: Primul chin, fiule, este Neştiinţa: al doilea, Mâhnirea; al treilea, Lipsa de măsură; al patrulea, Desfrânarea; al cincilea, Nedreptatea; al şaselea, Lăcomia; al şaptelea, Greşeala; al optulea, Invidia; al nouălea, înşelătoria; al zecelea, Mânia; al unsprezecelea, Pripeala; al doisprezecelea, Răutatea.
Acestea sunt douăsprezece la număr şi, supuse acestora, încă multe altele; strecurându-se prin închisoare trupului’, ele îl silesc pe omul dinlăuntru să sufere în simţurile sale. Dar ele pleacă (deşi nu toate dintr-o dată) de la cel ce a dobândit îndurarea Zeului-, şi aici se află felul şi cauza Naşterii din nou-,
Şi acum, fiul meu, rămâi tăcut, păstrează tăcere.”Hermes Trismegistos, ”Corpus Hermeticum”
Pink Floyd – ”Sorrow”
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
He’s haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can’t be precise
He’s chained forever to a world that’s departed
It’s not enough, it’s not enough
His blood has frozen and curdled with fright
His knees have trembled and given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered
One world, one soul
Time pass, the river roll
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be
There’s an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there’s dust in my eyes that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder than words
Of promises broken

Pink Floyd – ”Shine on, you crazy diamond”
Remember when you were young? (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
You shone like the sun
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Now there’s a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on, you crazy diamond
You were caught in the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on, you target for faraway laughter
Come on, you stranger
You legend, you martyr, and shine
You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the moon
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night
And exposed in the light
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Well, you wore out your welcome
With random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on, you raver, you seer of visions
Come on, you painter
You piper, you prisoner, and shine

Pink Floyd – ”Echoes”
”Echoes”
Melodie de: Pink Floyd
Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand?
And lead you through the land?
And help me understand the best I can?
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
And no one speaks and no one tries
And no one flies around the sun
Cloudless everyday you fall
Upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
Callin’ you across the sky

”Lăcomia strică omenia.”
(Proverb românesc)
Ugly Kid Joe – ”Cats in the cradle”
My child arrived just the other day,
He came to the world in the usual way.
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay.
He learned to walk while I was away.
And he was talking ‘fore I knew it, and as he grew,
He’d say, „I’m gonna be like you, dad.
You know I’m gonna be like you.”
And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
„When you coming home, dad?” „I don’t know when,
But we’ll get together then.
You know we’ll have a good time then.”
My son turned ten just the other day.
He said, „Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let’s play.
Can you teach me to throw?” I said, „Not today,
I got a lot to do.” He said, „That’s ok.”
And he walked away, but his smile, lemme tell you,
Said, „I’m gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I’m gonna be like him.”
And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
„When you coming home, dad?” „I don’t know when,
But we’ll get together then.
You know we’ll have a good time then.”
Well, he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
„Son, I’m proud of you. Can you sit for a while?”
He shook his head, and he said with a smile,
„What I’d really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys.
See you later. Can I have them please?”
And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
„When you coming home, son?” „I don’t know when,
But we’ll get together then, dad.
You know we’ll have a good time then.”
I’ve long since retired and my son’s moved away.
I called him up just the other day.
I said, „I’d like to see you if you don’t mind.”
He said, „I’d love to, dad, if I could find the time.
You see, my new job’s a hassle, and the kid’s got the flu,
But it’s sure nice talking to you, dad.
It’s been sure nice talking to you.”
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me,
He’d grown up just like me.
My boy was just like me.
And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
„When you coming home, son?” „I don’t know when,
But we’ll get together then, dad.
You know we’ll have a good time then.”

“Înainte, mă gândeam aproape tot timpul la soţia mea. Acum, cu cât trec zilele, soţia se întunecă parcă în minte şi mama se luminează. Ca la fântânile cu două găleţi. Una se scoboară, alta se înalţă. Acum nu se înalţă decât mama.”
Marin Sorescu, ”Iona”
”Când trupul meu căzu răpus în pleavă, mă-ncredinţai cu remuşcări amare în grija celui ce ne dă izbavă.
Păcate grele-am săvârşit, dar mare e mila lui când din înalt se-ndură spre cei ce-n moarte îi cerşesc iertare.
Şi dacă-acestea le citea-n Scriptură mai cu răgaz, nu-n grabă, fiecum, cel de Clemente asmuţit cu ură,
a mele oase-ar odihni şi-acum sub pietre strânse şi de toţi ştiute la Benevento lângă pod, în drum.”Dante Alighieri, ”Divina Comedie”, ”Purgatoriul”, Cântul III
Texas – ”The Conversation”
”Any time we have a conversation
It’s never what you wanna hear
It’s funny how much words can hurt you
Even after all these years
I wanna make an observation
‘Bout how you tear your world apart
And every time I try to tell you
You blame it on your fickle heart
How they’re hurting you
When they’re not deserving you
Are so, are so afraid of you
It’s time to have a conversation
Give it up
I’m never gonna hold you up
You’ve always been afraid of love
It’s time to have a conversation
Waking up is never easy
So why don’t you come over here
Tell me ‘bout the dreams that haunt you
Tell me ‘bout your secret fears
I wanna change your whole perception
If only I could make you see
How it’s all your own creation
That’s bringing you this misery
How they’re hurting you
When they’re not deserving you
Are so, are so afraid of you
It’s time to have a conversation
Give it up
I’m never gonna hold you up
You’ve always been afraid of love
It’s time to have a conversation
The words you hear in your head
Were never said, were never said
The heart you break, you mistake
For me instead, for me instead
How they’re hurting you
When they’re not deserving you
Are so, are so afraid of you
It’s time to have a conversation
Give it up
I’m never gonna hold you up
You’ve always been afraid of love
It’s time to have a conversation
Hurting you
When they’re not deserving you
Are so, are so afraid of you
It’s time to have a conversation
Give it up
I’m never gonna hold you up
You’ve always been afraid of love
It’s time to have a conversation”
”O să ne facem pernă din trifoi.
Un pat, un gând, un suflet amândoi.”William Shakespeare, ”Visul unei nopți de vară”
“Pe Maria o cauți, Hans? De ce n-ai căutat-o aievea până azi? Ți-ai pierdut viața împotrivindu-te voințelor mele, în loc să o urmărești numai pe ea! N-ai iubit niciodată, nefericitule, și doar nimic nu-i mai prețios în lume ca iubirea femeii!”
Liviu Rebreanu, ”Adam și Eva”
“(…) de-acolo se vedeau dealurile împădurite, simțeai curenții văilor în nări, iar cerul înstelat sporea tăcerea locului dându-ți acel sentiment, pe care îl simțim totdeauna în mijlocul naturii, de pace lăuntrică și de diminuare a obsesiilor, de scădere a importanței gândirii și impulsurilor vieții noastre interioare: suntem mai mici decât vasta natură, dar și mai mari când ne contopim cu ea, fiindcă știm, în timp ce un deal minunat, un munte superb nu sunt astfel decât fiindcă îi vedem noi…”
Marin Preda, ”Cel mai iubit dintre pământeni”
“… este imposibil să-ţi închizi trecutul ca pe un robinet, ţi-l deschide ea distrăgându-ţi atenţia , simulând cea mai curata dintre curiozităţi..”
Marin Preda, ”Cel mai iubit dintre pământeni”
”În cuibul celui smerit dracul s-a pus la clocit.”
(Proverb românesc)
”Numai omul rău la inimă poate vorbi pe alţii de rău.”
(Proverb românesc)
”Este posibil, aşadar, ca inconştientul să adăpostească şi conţinuturi ce posedă o tensiune energetică suficient de mare pentru ca, în alte împrejurări, să devină perceptibile eu-lui. Şi de cele mai multe ori nu este vorba nicidecum de conţinuturi refulate, ci de conţinuturi încă necoştientizate, adică încă nerealizate subiectiv, cum sunt, bunăoară, demonii şi zeii primitivilor sau -ismele în care cred cu fanatism modernii. Această stare nu este nici patologică, nici în vreun alt fel bizară, ci este însăşi starea primordială normală, în timp ce reunirea totalităţii psihicului în conştient constituie un ţel ideal, de neatins.”
Carl Gustav Jung, ”Reflecții teoretice privind natura psihismului”, cap. ”Disociabilitatea psihicului”
“Învinși sunt toți oamenii care se găsesc la sfârșitul, sau spre sfârșitul vieții lor în dezacord sentimental cu cei mai buni dintre semenii lor.”
Panait Istrati, ”Spovedania unui învins”
Everlast – ”White Trash Beautiful”
”White Trash Beautiful”
Melodie de: Everlast
White trash beautiful, trailer park queen
She slings hash at the diner from eleven-to-five
She married a boy from school, thought he was oh so cool
But all he can do for money is drive
Out late haulin’ freight on Interstate 5
Prayin’ he’ll see home before his baby arrive
White trash beautiful
There’s something you should know
My heart belongs to you
I know you could’ve found a better guy
I’ll love you ‘til the day I die
I swear to God, it’s true
I’m comin’ home to you
I’m comin’ home to you, girl
He lights a cigarette, his eyes half open
He won’t be home tonight but she keeps hopin’
Drinkin’ himself to sleep is his only way of copin’
She waits for him every night
She leaves the front door open
It’s 4:00 a.m., I’m doin’ 95
Tryin’ to stay awake and make it home alive
White trash beautiful
There’s something you should know
My heart belongs to you
I know you could’ve found a better guy
I’ll love you ‘til the day I die
I swear to God, it’s true
I’m comin’ home to you
I’m comin’ home to you, girl
Her lips stay painted red, her name tag’s crooked
Her heart’s been gone awhile
With the truck driving man that took it
He keeps her photograph on his rearview mirror
She prays for him every night, she hopes that he can hear her
White trash beautiful
There’s something you should know
My heart belongs to you, girl
I know you could’ve found yourself a better guy
I’ll love you ‘til the day I die
I swear to God, it’s true
I’m comin’ home to you
I’m comin’ home to you, girl
I’m comin’ home to you
I’m comin’ home to you, girl
I’m comin’ home to you

”Aseară-n casa duşmanului meu
O fată m-a rănit. La fel de greu
A fost şi ea rănită. Doar vreun leac
Sfinţit să-i vină răului de hac.
Vezi dar, părinte, eu, ca bun creştin,
Mă rog pentru duşmanul meu hain.”William Shakespeare, ”Romeo și Julieta”
”Un joc de şah e viaţa. Destinul singur joacă.
Iar noi suntem pionii. Vrând de urât să-i treacă,
Ne mută, ne opreşte, un timp ne mută încă
Şi apoi în cutia neantului ne-aruncă.”Omar Khayyam, ”Nimicnicia şi absurdul vieţii” (fragment)
