Caci asta mi se pare lucrul cel mai greu de invatat in contemplarea iubitei: sa stii cum sa-i privesti ochii.

About Mircea Eliade

Mircea Eliade (13 March 1907 {O.S. 28 February} – 22 April 1986) was a Romanian historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, and professor at the University of Chicago.

Orice femeie pe care o iubesc mă apasă, mă sugrumă şi, fără voia ei, mă destramă şi mă topeşte, până la descompunerea finală.

The history of religions reaches down and makes contact with that which is essentially human: the relation of man to the sacred. The history of religions can play an extremely important role in the crisis we are living through. The crises of modern man are to a large extent religious ones, insofar as they are an awakening of his awareness to an absence of meaning.

Hesse’s Journey to the East (1951) in the fifties anticipated the occult revival of the late sixties. But who will interpret for us the amazing success of Rosemary’s Baby and 2001? I am merely asking the question.
