    Valeriu Gherghel
    “Din cîte am observat, lumea din jur, omenirea, ca să spun vorbă mare, umanitatea (și în sens colectiv, dar și în sens distributiv) urăsc din răsputeri buna dispoziție. Nu voi pricepe niciodată de ce.... Am constatat (și constat zi de zi și clipă de clipă) că numita omenire scormonește, caută, dorește, vrea din tot sufletul și din toată inima și cu toate puterile să se simtă cît mai rău. Vrea să geamă sinistru. Să sufere. Să dispere pe culmi ca E.M. Cioran. Vorba unui hîtru: dacă nu se simte rău, nu se simte bine.”
    Valeriu Gherghel, Roata plăcerilor: de ce n-au iubit unii înţelepţi cărţile?

    Charles Bukowski
    “I will remember the kisses
    our lips raw with love
    and how you gave me
    everything you had
    and how I
    offered you what was left of
    me,
    and I will remember your small room
    the feel of you
    the light in the window
    your records
    your books
    our morning coffee
    our noons our nights
    our bodies spilled together
    sleeping
    the tiny flowing currents
    immediate and forever
    your leg my leg
    your arm my arm
    your smile and the warmth
    of you
    who made me laugh
    again.”
    Charles Bukowski
