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. 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.

Additional quotes by Mircea Eliade
Sunt si alte lucruri esentiale pentru un tanar. Sunt lucruri care il privesc mai direct decat dragostea. Majoritatea oamenilor de astazi sunt umiliti de societate, sunt anihilati de evenimente. Aproape nimeni din noi nu mai poate creste in voie, nu-si mai poate implini destinul lui...Ideile care circula astazi fara a mai intampina vreo rezistenta, sentimentele-tipar, mari si sterpe, care ne coplesesc-atentatul acesta la fiinta noastra e mult mai grav. Tu nu crezi ca avem si alte datorii decat de a iubi o femeie pana la moarte?
"Le mythe, écrit Mircea Eliade, "raconte une histoire sacrée; il relate un événement qui a eu lieu dans le temps primordial, le temps fabuleux des commencements. Autrement dit, le mythe raconte comment, grâce aux exploits des Etres surnaturels, une réalité est venue à l'existence, que ce soit la réalité totale: le cosmos,, ou seulement un fragment: une île, une espèce végétale, un comportement humain, une institution. C'est donc toujours le récit d'une "création": on rapporte comment quelque chose a été produit, a commencé à être" ("Aspects du mythe")."
