Quotes by Mihai Eminescu (?)

“Eu nu pot să nu te iubesc. Tu nu ştii de ce, şi nu ţi-o pot spune, şi cu toate astea chipul tău, umbra ce-ai aruncat-o pe pânza gândurilor mele este singura fericire ce am avut-o în lume.”
― Mihai Eminescu, Sărmanul Dionis

“Stiam prea bine ca fondul sufletului meu e desgustul, apatia, mizeria. Eu nu sunt facut pentru nici o femee, nici o femee nu e facuta pentru mine, si oricare ar crede-o ar fi nenorocita. Nu iubesc nimic pentru ca nu cred in nimic si prea greoi pentru a lua vreun lucru precum se prezinta, eu nu am privirea ce infrumuseteaza lumea, ci aceea care vede numai raul, numai defectele, numai partea umbrei . Satul de viata fara sa fi trait vreodata, neavand un interes adevarat pentru nimic in lume, sunt moraliceste desalat ... Nu cred nimic, nu sper nimic si mi-e moraliceste frig ca unui batran de 80 de ani.”
