“UNIVERS
EU voi pleca spre infinitul
În care mi-a rămas privitul
Și voi veni de nicăieri...
Poate mai repede ca ieri.
Dar știu că voi găsi mereu...
Acel ușor și acel ,,greu"
același rău, același bine,
În contradicție cu mine...
Alți regi și alți martiri mai noi...
Unii-mbuibați și alții goi...
Și alte măști, alți arlechini...
Alți ratați și alți senini.
Alte motive puse lumii
De vreun proliferant al ciumii.
Și alte măști, alți rechini,
O, repetiție turbată.
Termină-ți ciclu-acesta-odată
Și azvârle-mă în UNIVERS
De unde-am venit
Făr să fi mers...”

“Universal grammar is about what language is: it is to be distinguished from prescriptive grammars, often distilled in newspaper columns, which tell us what language should be. We are all entitled to our own opinions of what is appropriate, be it in the arrangement of words or flowers - as long as we keep in mind that these are just opinions. The properties of universal grammar linguists have unearthed, however, are a useful defense when language "authorities" try to rationalize their pontifications: none of the don'ts they advertise can be found in the book of universal grammar.”

“Universal History, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here. They were the leaders of men, these great ones; the modellers, patterns, and in a wide sense creators, of whatsoever the general mass of men contrived to do or to attain; all things that we see standing accomplished in the world are properly the outer material result, the practical realisation and embodiment, of Thoughts that dwelt in the Great Men sent into the world: the soul of the whole world's history, it may justly be considered, were the history of these.”

“Universal peace-time conscription was adopted by almost all countries as the basis of their military system. This ensured that wars would grow bigger in scale, longer in duration, and worse in effects. While conscription appeared democratic, it provided autocrats, hereditary or revolutionary, with more effective and comprehensive means of imposing their will, both in peace and war. Once the rule of compulsory service in arms was established for the young men of a nation, it was an obvious and easy transition to the servitude of the whole population. Totalitarian tyranny is the twin of total warfare —which might aptly be termed a reversion to tribal warfare on a larger scale.”
“Universal peace will be realized, not because man will become better, but because a new order of things, a new science, new economic necessities, will impose peace.”
