― Octavian Paler, Deșertul pentru totdeauna

“Ştii, există unele basme străvechi în care cineva are dreptul la trei dorinţe. Însă nu mai multe. Trei pare să fie un număr semnificativ în acele basme, poate din cauză că este primul număr impar care permite o decizie hotărâtoare. Ştii, două din trei câştigă... Chestia este că în acele basme, dorinţele nu folosesc la nimic. Nimeni nu şi-a dorit vreodată lucrul corect, ceea ce, am avut dintotdeauna convingerea, reprezintă o lecţie a înţelepciunii străvechi, care spune că satisfacerea dorinţelor trebuie meritată,”

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
― Charles Bukowski
