Quotes by Marin Preda (?)

“Dispariţia iubirii e ca o oglindă întoarsă, nu se mai vede nimic, te uiţi zadarnic în ea. Gestul tău nu se mai reflectă, nu-i mai răspunde nimeni. Eşti singur.”
― Marin Preda, Cel mai iubit dintre pământeni

“Dar te întreb eu acum: de ce totul trebuie trăit? De ce totul trebuie consumat? N-ajunge că sîntem siliți să mîncăm? Trebuie să ne mîncăm și sufletele? Unde scrie asta? Adică cum, nu putem păstra în sufletul nostru și lucruri netrăite? Trebuie neapărat să înghițim tot ce e pe lume? De ce? Ca să avem pe urmă ce vărsa în mormîntul în care o să fim băgați? E o veche întrebare a mea la care rămîn..Am iubit o fată! Nu-mi ajunge? De ce trebuie alta? Și acum ascultă: Am vrut o dată să schimb lumea! Nu-mi ajunge? De ce trebuie s-o iau de la cap și să merg pînă în pînzele albe?”
