Nichita Stănescu
“Oamenii sunt păsări nemaiîntâlnite,
cu aripi crescute înlăuntru,
care bat plutind, planând,
într-un aer mai curat - care e gândul!”
Nichita Stănescu, O viziune a sentimentelor

Robert  Wright
“If two people stare at each other for more than a few seconds, it means they are about to either make love or fight. Something similar might be said about human societies. If two nearby societies are in contact for any length of time, they will either trade or fight. The first is non-zero-sum social integration, and the second ultimately brings it.”
Robert Wright
