Quote by George Bacovia

“Duduia veşnic citeşte, Ştie clavirul, pictează - Şi nopţi de-a rândul veghează, Şi poate, de-aceea slăbeşte. Se crede, şi unia spun - Dar totul rămâne secret Duduia visează-un poet, Bizar, singuratec, nebun.”

“Tell the UN, tell the Red Cross, tell the newspapers that we are dying, they said. What was it like? Oh, they told us, we die on the beach. We die in the sea, swimming for rescue, and we die in the sand. We dig bunkers for shelter and they become graves. Our bodies bleed and shatter and burn. We are leaving our elders and children behind us.”

“You are thinking, as anyone would, as everyone has, at least in passing. about what you would have done. If I were in his shoes, I would never, you have said to yourself; or perhaps you are sure you would have done exactly the same. There is no way to know, truly, without standing where we did.”

“Хлопці питають, коли я опублікую цей матеріал. Відповідаю: мабуть, у травні. І один з Андріїв, перед тим як розвернутися в бік авто з іншими бійцями, на прощання каже: - Думаю, мене вже не буде в травні.”

“Another attempt to get a Pacifist conclusion from the intuition is of a more political and calculating kind. If not the greatest evil, yet war is a great evil. Therefore, we should all like to remove it if we can. But every war leads to another war. The removal of war must therefore be attempted. We must increase by propaganda the number of Pacifists in each nation until it becomes great enough to deter that nation from going to war. This seems to me wild work. Only liberal societies tolerate Pacifists. In the liberal society, the number of Pacifists will either be large enough to cripple the state as a belligerent, or not. If not, you have done nothing. If it is large enough, then you have handed over the state which does tolerate Pacifists to its neighbour who does not. Pacifism of this kind is taking the straight road to a world in which there will be no Pacifists.”

“Society may talk about love, but it prepares for hate. Society only talks about love, but it is very cunning and hypocritical. Society is full of hatred. Love is a rebellion against these stupid, cunning and unconscious structures. This whole structure of the state, the establishment, the status quo, the politicians, the church, the priests, the vested interests and the media is simply stupid, but because it has existed for thousands of years we take it for granted. We think it is the only possibility. This structure has made humanity live on a survival level. It has made humanity live on a very low level of consciousness. Even if we have become accustomed to it, it is not the only possibility. Man can live in a totally new way, without wars, hatred, conflicts, violence, without killing each other and without murder. There is no need for all this. Love is overflowing. Love needs a new level of consciousness. Love needs a new climate and atmosphere. One can exist without love, but one only exists, one does not live with joy. Mere existence and survival is not life. People are only existing and vegetating. But there is no joy and grandeur in life. One has to rebel against the stupid structures that is being taught by the universities, by the society, by the politicians, by the churches, by the vested interests and the media. Rebellion means to drop the whole past, and to live in the present without the stupid system. Then we will have a beautiful life full of joy, happiness, truth, freedom and beauty.”

“Do you remember after the last war—when we were hunting down Mr. Brown? Do you remember what fun it was? How excited we were?” Tommy agreed, his face lighting up. “Rather!” “Tommy—why isn’t it the same now?” He considered the question, his quiet ugly face grave. Then he said: “I suppose it’s really—a question of age.” Tuppence said sharply: “You don’t think—we’re too old?”
