In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?” The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.” “Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?” The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.” The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.” The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different […]
”Am învăţat o nouă meserie, aceea de a aştepta. Foarte grea meserie, domnilor. Mult mai grea decât aceea de a călători, de a alerga, de a te îmbulzi. Pentru că atunci când alergi, îţi foloseşti picioarele. Când te îmbulzeşti, îţi foloseşti braţele. Dar când aştepţi, nu-ţi foloseşti decât puterea de a spera. Şi aici e greutatea. Căci această putere se uzează şi ea, domnilor, ca orice lucru. Şi, în clipa în care puterea de a spera s-a uzat, eşti pierdut…” Octavian Paler
Linkin Park – ”Shadow of the day”
I close both locks below the window I close both blinds and turn away Sometimes solutions aren’t so simple Sometimes goodbye’s the only way, ah-ah And the sun will set for you The sun will set for you And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in gray And the sun will set for you In cards and flowers on your window Your friends all plead for you to stay Sometimes beginnings aren’t so simple Sometimes goodbye’s the only way, oh, oh And the sun will set for you The sun will set for you And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in gray And the sun will set for you And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in gray And the sun will set for you And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in gray And the sun […]
Hooverphonic – ”Human interest”
You say this, you say that My better no way you’re sad Leave me alone right now I used to be in love with this Now I’m trying to get rid of all this human interest Don’t you dare to point your finger at me Look at yourself I’m not the one you want me to be Look at yourself Some say no, some say yes Less or more or more or less Leave me alone right now I used to be adored each day Now it’s time for me to pay The dreadful price of success Don’t you dare to point your finger at me Look at yourself I’m not the one you want me to be Look at yourself Some say no, some say yes Don’t you dare to point your finger at me Look at yourself I’m not the one you want me to be Look at […]
Mando Diao – ”Gloria”
Well, now she don’t need to see the sun ahead Don’t need that help from God above If you’re losing her don’t be sad ‘Cause she will offer you heart attacks She’s tired of problems that you caused her mind Tired of all those lies in your freak show Tired of being alone at night Being the lowest cat on earth So Gloria steps out from the prison Gloria’s no longer the wasted disco girl You’ve been dreaming about Gloria, alone now forever Gloria, away in the air now Gloria, she’s no longer your slave, no, no It’s time for you to see yourself All the misery you brought up Gloria’s one day ahead Watching you from the heaven’s gate She’s tired of problems that you caused her mind Tired of all those lies in your freak show Tired of being alone at night Being the lowest cat on earth […]
”Învățătura este frumusețea cea mai aleasă a omului, averea ascunsă și tăinuită; învățătura procură plăceri, ea dă glorie și bucurie; învățătura este învățătorul învățătorilor.” (Proverb universal)
”A stelelor rotire care-nconjoarâ firea Provoacă ameţeală la cei din valea lunii. Khayyam, ţine-te bine de firu-nţelepciunii, Pe când în jur dansează din veac nemărginirea.” Omar Khayyam, ”Suprema înțelepciune – detașarea”
”Cel ce-a cules în viaţă al Cunoştinţei Măr, Pe-adevărata Cale purta-va paşii săi. Numai acela ştie că azi e ca şi ieri Şi mâini va fi asemeni cu Ziua cea Dintăi.” Omar Khayyam, ”Suprema înțelepciune – detașarea”
Nicolae Labiș – ”Geografia timpului”
”Schimb curgerea acum în plan intens: Geografia timpului e-n faţă. Epoca mea e-aici: câmpii şi munţi, Diversitate vastă şi măreaţă. Sunt mii de râuri, unele curg drept, Iar altele pe căi ocolitoare, Şi totuşi toate se îndreaptă-acum Spre marea mare, purificatoare. Totu-mi părea întâi învălmăşit. Mergeam — dar unde, nu-mi pasase mie. Ştiam că-s tânăr, că iubesc adânc Tovarăşii de muncă şi mândrie, Nu cunoşteam primejdiile mari Şi poate de aceea n-aveam teamă… Frumos mai e să zbori! Dar ce frumos E-atunci când zbori spre steaua ce te cheamă!” Nicolae Labiș, ”Geografia timpului”
Gianni Rodari – ”Cea mai frumoasă zi”
„Dacă-aş fi un brutar Aş coace o pâine Atât de mare, încât să satur Toată, toată lumea Care nu are de mâncare. O pâine mai mare ca soarele, Rumenită, parfumată Ca şi viorelele. O aşa pâine Ar vrea să mănânce Cei din India şi din Chile Săracii, copiii, Bătrânii şi păsărelele. Va fi o zi de păstrat în memorie: O zi fără foame! Cea mai frumoasă zi din istorie!” Gianni Rodari, „Cea mai frumoasă zi”
“Nu înțelegeam pe atunci de ce dau oamenii între ei o luptă atât de nemiloasă, de înverșunată și adesea otrăvită pentru opinie. Ființa noastră e la discreția celorlalți, nu apari tu în ochii unuia așa cum ești, ci așa cum au reșit alții să sugereze o imagine despre tine. Și astfel viața noastră se scurge într-un efort permanent și adesea disperat de a demonstra această imagine (căci rar se întâmplă să nu fie rea, în timp ce tu crezi cu naivitate că ești un inocent), acțiune de reușita căreia depinde totul, realizarea în societate, fericirea și adesea evitarea primejdiilor mortale. Iată, până și frumusețea unei femei se alterează din pricina unei imagini despre ea pe care altul ți-a transmis-o.” Marin Preda, ”Cel mai iubit dintre pământeni”

Boy George – ”Everything I own”
You sheltered me from harm Kept me warm, kept me warm You gave my life to me Set me free, you set me free Of all the years I ever knew Those finer ones I spent with you I would give everything I own Give up my life, my heart, my home I would give everything I own Just to have you back again You taught me how to cry I don’t know why, just don’t know why You gave my life to me You set me free, you set me free Of all the years I ever knew Those finer ones I spent with you I would give everything I own Give up my life, my heart, my home I would give everything I own Just to have you back again Just to hold you once again If there’s someone you know That won’t let you go and taking […]
The Sisters of Mercy – ”More”
Some people get by with a little understanding Some people get by with a whole lot more I don’t know, why you gotta be so undemanding One thing I know, I want more, I want more And I need all the love that I can’t get too And I need all the love I can get And I need all the love that I can’t get too D’you get scared to feel so much?

Cake – ”I will survive” (Gloria Gaynor cover)
At first I was afraid I was petrified I kept thinking I could never live without you By my side But then I spent so many nights Just thinking how you’ve done me wrong I grew strong I learned how to get along And so you’re back From outer space I just walked in to find you Here with that look upon your face I should have changed my fucking lock I would have made you leave your key If I had known for just one second You’d be back to bother me Oh now go Walk out the door Just turn around Now, you’re not welcome anymore Weren’t you the one Who tried to break me with desire? Did you think I’d crumble? Did you think I’d lay down and die? Oh not I, I will survive Yeah As Long as I know how to love I know I’ll […]
Tal Bachman – ”She’s so high”
She’s blood, flesh and bone No tucks or silicone She’s touch, smell, sight, taste, and sound But somehow I can’t believe That anything should happen I know where I belong And nothing’s going to happen, yeah ‘Cause she’s so high High above me She’s so lovely She’s so high Like Cleopatra Joan of Arc Or Aphrodite Da-da-da-da-da She’s so high High above me First class and fancy free She’s high society She’s got the best of everything What could a guy like me Ever really offer? She’s perfect as she can be Why should I even bother? ‘Cause she’s so high High above me She’s so lovely She’s so high Like Cleopatra Joan of Arc Or Aphrodite Da-da-da-da-da She’s so high High above me She comes to speak to me I freeze immediately ‘Cause what she says sounds so unreal ‘Cause somehow I can’t believe That anything should happen I […]
Tim Finn – ”Through the years”
I met a girl who wasn’t quite right, She wandered all alone in the night. She understand the past, present and the future. She takes me back to where I was then, She leads me on again and again, I’m happy now and I owe everything to her. And she was calling me back through the years, Leading me on through the years, Calling me back through the years. I want to be oblivious, To all the things that worry us, I want to learn the secrets of the universe. And she was calling me back through the years, Leading me on through the years, Calling me back through the years. And she was calling me back through the years, Leading me on through the years, Calling me back through the years. I’m never gonna find the answer, It’s never gonna be, Excatly what I hoped it was, But it’s […]
Third World – ”Try jah love”
Lonely soul was I without direction I didn’t know which way that I had to go I sought the clues to life’s unanswered questions My mind’s heart had to know, yes I heard you call while wandering through the darkness I’d walk a million miles to find that endless voice That speaks to me when I am in temptation Echoing my choice Then you said, seek ye shall find I’ve been with you through all time And if you’re thirsty I will quench you (with my love) And if you’re hungry I will feed you (with my words) And all I ask of you is that you love as I do And if you lose your way I’ll lead you (To my love) From a sinful life I’ll cleanse you (In my love) For creation bears a witness of my love You know that You know that it’s time for […]
My fair lady – Rex Harrison – ”I’m an ordinary man”
Higgins, forgive the bluntness, but if I’m to be in this business, I shall be a responsible for the girl Are you a man of good character where women are concerned? Have you ever met a man of good character where women are concerned? Well, I haven’t I find the moment that a woman makes friends with me, she becomes jealous, exacting, suspicious and a damn nuisance And I find that the moment I make friends with a woman, I become selfish and tyrannical So here I am, a confirmed old bachelor and likely to remain so Well after all, Pickering I’m an ordinary man Who desires nothing more Than just an ordinary chance to live exactly as he likes And do precisely what he wants An average man am I, of no eccentric whim Who likes to live his life, free of strife Doing whatever he thinks is best, […]
J. Bernardt – ”Taxi”
[Verse 1] Can you please drive me to a point of no return There’s a night shop and a gas station To the right and the next turn Please don’t turn on the music I need to empty my head I need some road noise to reflect on Everything she just said I’m not mad, I’m just sad I haven’t been paying attention So you’ve got a point, my bad Just give it some rest, give it some time Well in the end there’s nothing That fucks you harder than time [Chorus] Did you give it your all, give it your all Did I give it my all, give it my all [Verse 2] So when two and two now makes five Then I wanna count again Right from the start ‘Till it makes sense in the end Onto the next town And don’t look behind But watch out It’s […]
