" "Nu poţi iubi niciodată doi oameni în acelaşi timp. Iubeşti pe rând, când pe unul, când pe altul.
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. His most enduring and influential contribution to religious studies was possibly his theory of Eternal Return, which holds that myths and rituals do not simply record or imitate hierophanies, but, at least to the minds of the religious, actually participate in them.

...cineva care știe a iubi cu adevărat poate experimenta voluptatea oricât de neînsemnată ar fi atingerea trupului celuilalt. Îi explicasem atunci că, pentru mine, posesiunea e mult mai neînțeleasă și mai complicată decât se pare. E foarte greu să ai ceva cu adevărat, să-l capeți sau să-l cucerești. Mai mult ne închipuim că posedăm decât posedăm.
"It was lunar symbolism that enabled man to relate and connect such heterogeneous things as: birth, becoming, death, and ressurection; the waters, plants, woman, fecundity, and immortality; the cosmic darkness, prenatal existence, and life after death, followed by the rebirth of the lunar type ("light coming out of darkness"); weaving, the symbol of the "thread of life," fate, temporality, and death; and yet others. In general most of the ideas of cycle, dualism, polarity, opposition, conflict, but also of reconciliation of contraries, of coincidentia oppositorum, were either discovered or clarified by virtue of lunar symbolism. We may even speak of a metaphysics of the moon, in the sense of a consistent system of "truths" relating to the mode of being peculiar to living creatures, to everything in the cosmos that shares in life, that is, in becoming, growth and waning, death and ressurrection."
Nu ne putem împotrivi acestui destin. Dar avem măcar datoria să protestăm împotriva lui. Şi, eu cel puţin, nu am alt mijloc de a protesta decât refuzând să fiu confiscat, macerat şi terorizat de acest destin. Dacă va fi să mor azi, mâine sau într-o lună - am să mor. Dar am să mor, cel puţin, mândru că n-am renunţat la demnitatea mea umană, la libertatea mea. Istoria mă va omorî, dar nu va omorî un sclav - ci un om liber, care a ştiut să-şi smulgă măcar o frântură din viaţa lui teroarei istoriei.
