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.

"Spun oamenii ca au cautat viata intreaga "femeia ideala", si n-au gasit-o. Absurd. O puteau gasi in orice femeie, dar pentru aceasta le trebuia iubirea aceea adevarata, care sa rupa cercul insului lor, sa infranga instinctul de conservare care ii zidea in fata dragostei, sa anuleze acel abstract dor de "femeia ideala", creat numai pentru confortul lor, pentru odihna lor melancolica si amuzanta; caci e foarte confortabil sa "cauti" vesnic, mai greu e sa gasesti si sa nutresti ca un perfect amant ghimpele acela de iubire."
