“I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.”
― Edgar Allan Poe

“I kept waiting for him to lay bare something more than this pointed unobjectionableness, but all that rose to the surface was more surface”

“Am lunecat. M-am poticnit, strivind
Sub tălpi o floare ori o cochilie,
Ori poate mi-am strivit fără să simt
Inima mea, în piept ascunsă, vie...
N-am să mai spun ce am greșit și cînd...
Vreau soarele-amintirile să-mi spele...
Un egoism îngrozitor de strîmt
M-a coborît în ochii lumii mele.”
― Nicolae Labiş, Albatrosul ucis

“For we are like tree trunks in the snow. In appearance they lie smoothly and a little push should be enough to set them rolling. No, it can't be done, for they are firmly wedded to the ground. But see, even that is only appearance.”
― Franz Kafka
