Printre marile anomalii ale lumii moderne se numără şi faptul că ştiinţa şi filosofia ne învaţă viaţa şi moartea. Gândiţi-vă o clipă la absurditatea … - Mircea Eliade

"It is above all the valorizing of the present that requires emphasizing. The simple fact of existing, of living in time, can comprise a religious dimension. This dimension is not always obvious, since sacrality is in a sense camouflaged in the immediate, in the "natural" and the everyday. The joy of life discovered by the Greeks is not a profane type of enjoyment: it reveals the bliss of existing, of sharing — even fugitively — in the spontaneity of life and the majesty of the world. Like so many others before and after them, the Greeks learned that the surest way to escape from time is to exploit the wealth, at first sight impossible to suspect, of the lived instant."

The country of the souls is underneath us, toward the sunset; the trail leads through a dim twilight. Tracks of the people who last went over it and of their dogs are visible.

Lumina aceasta ascunde altceva. Viaţa întreagă ascunde altceva. Aşa cum sunt eu, aşa cum e Biriş, ascundem, fiecare din noi, altceva. Se află ascuns undeva în noi, în adâncul fiinţei noastre. Altceva.
