Quote by Octavian Paler

“Omul e un fel de romancier ratat al propriei sale vieţi.Povesteşte lucruri pe care nu le-a trăit decît în închipuire şi, uneori, imaginaţia se cocoaţă în locul soartei.”

“Een man stelde mijn vriend Jaime Cohen de volgende vraag: "Wat vindt u het grappigste aan de mens?" Jaime antwoordde: "Onze manier van denken. We denken voortdurend verkeerd om: hoe eerder we volwassen kunnen zijn hoe beter en vervolgens klagen we over onze verloren jeugd. Onze gezondheid offeren we op om aan geld te komen en hebben we dat dan geven we alles weer uit om weer gezond te worden. We zijn zo op de toekomst gericht dat we het heden verwaarlozen en hebben daardoor in het heden geen leven, maar in de toekomst ook niet. We leven alsof we nooit dood zullen gaan en sterven alsof we nooit hebben geleefd.”

“But are we not at the point where we can no longer make the distinction between normal and neurotic? Do we not all have these conflicts, in greater or lesser degree? And do not all conflicts move into contradiction at some point? When all is said and done, all anxiety arises from conflicts, with its origin in the conflict between being and nonbeing, between one's existence and that which threatens it. All of us, no matter how 'neurotic' or 'normal,' experience the gap between our expectations and reality. This distinction becomes less important, and I believe we must look at all anxiety, preferably without special labels, as part of the human condition.”
