“Prezentul meu de azi nu este decât o secvență într-un viitor care se accelerează și care uneori devine dificil. Suntem ființe cu o istorie neîncetat în construcție, care ne atrage adesea spre trecut, ne imobilizează sau ne trimite la situații neterminate, răni sau vise nebune, și suntem și visători, constructori de viitor voind să punem viitorul în serviciul dorințelor noastre, mai ales când acesta se retrage sau lasă să apară zone de umbră și o amenințare la orizont. Trebuie astfel să mergem cât mai aproape de clipă, într-un prezent al prezentului.”

“Prečítal som si Klausov list Mečiarovi, išiel som sa vyšabliť a potom som ho upravil pre svoju krátku správu bývalému premiérovi k sedemdesiatke: Vážený pán Vladimír Mečiar! Poznal som Vás ako politika, ktorý nevie dodržať slovo. A to nebolo a nie je v českej a slovenskej politike výnimočné. Poznal som Vás ako ako človeka, ktorý sa nebojí riskovať a pokojne so svojimi komplicmi okradne krajinu o miliardový majetok a organizuje štátom objednané kriminálne činy, násilné útoky či dokonca vraždy. Súčasne som Vás poznal ako štátnika, ktorý dokonale ovláda umenie klamať, manipulovať médiá a šíriť štátnu propagandu jedného názoru. Pre svoju zem a pre svoj národ ste nehľadali racionálne riešenia zásadných problémov. A to v dobe veľkých existenčných neistôt, ktoré väčšina občanov pociťuje dodnes, ale Vy a Vaša rodina a Vaši spojenci už dávno nie. Vôbec ma neprekvapuje, že svoju sedemdesiatku oslavujete v blahobyte, spokojne a šťastne na slobode, a nie vo väzení, kam podľa mňa patríte. A vlastne ma ani nezaráža, keď Vám blahoželajú premiér slovenskej republiky aj český prezident - vo svojej podstate sa podobáte ako vajce vajcu. Vaša verzia mafiánskeho kapitalizmu sa zakorenila mimoriadne hlboko. Pri príležitosti Vášho životného jubilea Vám úprimne želám, nech Vás nesúdi len história.”

mă simt azi cel mai singuratic suflet,
şi străbătut de-avânt alerg, dar nu ştiu - unde.

în drumul vostru nici o ţintă,
dar poate tocmai de aceea cuceriţi nemărginirea.”
