”Am invocat dicţionarul ca pe o inconştientă mărturie despre om, o mărturie sugestivă şi avînd pentru discuţia noastră o anumită valoare.” Ambrose Bierce, ”Stăpânul lui Moxon”
”Se-ntunecă. Mesenii extenuaţi de viaţă Au adormit. În umbră, priviţi ce palizi sunt! Întinşi şi reci! Tot astfel vor fi şi în mormânt. N-aduceți lampa! Morții nu mai au dimineață.” Omar Khayyam, ”Nimicnicia şi absurdul vieţii” (fragment)
”Încă vreo câţiva paşi până la piatră. Aci ne odihnim, unde-n atâtea rânduri Am poposit muncit de gânduri. Dedatu-m-am aci şi postului şi rugăciunii. Plin de nădejde, cu credinţă, cu suspine, Cu lacrimi, am crezut să pot obţine De la cerescul Domn sfârşitul ciumii. (…) Medicamentul era gata. Oamenii mureau. Dar nimeni nu-ntreba: se face vreunul sănătos? Astfel cu infernalele tertipuri Prăpăd făcurăm prin aceste văi, mai fioros, Decât făcuse ciuma. Însumi dat-am din otravă La mii de oameni. Toţi s-au stins. Şi-acum văzuşi, cum suntem ridicaţi în slavă, Noi, noi netrebnicii şi ucigaşii!” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, ”Faust”
“All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.” J.M. Barrie, ”Peter Pan”

”Din vremuri imemoriale Frumuseţea îşi dezvăluie forma ei minunată în singurătatea nefiinţei. Ea se uită în oglindă şi îşi contemplă propria frumuseţe. Ea e cunoscătorul şi lucrul cunoscut, Privitorul şi lucrul privit. Numai ochii ei au văzut acest Univers. Toate calităţile ei s-au întrupat: Veşnicia e câmpul verde al Spaţiului şi Timpului. Iubirea e grădina dătătoare de viaţă a acestei lumi. Fiecare creangă şi frunză şi fruct dau la iveală o trăsătură a perfecţiunii sale. Chiparosul sugerează măreţia ei Trandafirul ne arată cât e de frumoasă. Ori de câte ori se iveşte Frumuseţea, Iubirea e şi ea prezentă. Ori de câte ori Frumuseţea îşi arată obrazul îmbujorat Iubirea se aprinde de la flacăra lui. Când Frumuseţea se ascunde în cutele întunecate ale nopţii Iubirea vine şi găseşte o inimă tulburată. Frumuseţea şi Iubirea sunt ca trupul şi sufletul. Frumuseţea e ca o mină, iar Iubirea e diamantul. Ele au fost […]

”Eu vă cred; Da, fără doar şi poate, nu e bine Să ştie c-o iubeşte; l-ar lua-n râs. Ce-i drept, e drept. N-am întâlnit bărbat, Oricât de chipeş, tânăr sau deştept, Să nu-l repeadă; de-i bălan, se jură Că s-ar cădea să-i fie soră; oacheş? Natura, zugrăvind un arlechin, A scos o mâzgăleală; e înalt? O lance strîmbă-n vîrf; e îndesat? Atunci e un agat neşlefuit! Vorbeşte? E-o morişcă zăpăcită; Nu scoate-o vorbă? E un bolovan. Aşa-i răstălmăceşte ea pe toţi Şi-n ruptul capului nu-i dă virtuţii Ce este meritul şi fala ei. Ce urîcios— să-i foarfece pe toţi!” William Shakespeare, ”Mult zgomot pentru nimic”
