Petre Tutea was name by the people as "Romanian Socrate" for his philosophic touch that he left behind, for his exemplary role-model that had a huge educative meaning for the generation that followed him. But most of all Petre Tutea is know for his true nationalism and love for the country, for his strong christian orthodox believes, for his simple but so incontestable way of thinking.

Quote: "Without God, man remains just a rational and talking animal, that comes from nowhere and goes nowhere"

Petre Tutea is consider by most one of the most "True Romanian" that ever lived. ...more

Quotes by Petre Țuțea (?)

“Tot ce există în noi şi nu ne obligă, din disperare, să ne sinucidem, se cheamă spirit. Cioran a scris în Franţa "Invitation au suicide". Ştiţi ce i s-a răspuns? "C'est à vous le prèmier, monsieur." Daţi exemplu, că începem şi noi. Ha, ha, ha. Daţi-ne un model dumneavoastră ca să-l imităm şi noi. Ce joc bizar al existenţei! A fi şi a nu fi. Între aceşti doi termeni ne mişcăm.”

“Deşi sunt bolnav şi neajutorat, nu îmi pare rău că exist. Încerc eu să-mi pară rău, dar n-are sens. Ştiţi de ce? Pentru că eu constat, în mod evident, că exist. Ceea ce mă confiscă pesimismului de a mă autonega este evidenţa existenţei mele.
Omul care se sinucide n-a constatat că e om. N-a reuşit să intuiască existenţa sa. Să se trăiască pe sine. Eu nu mă pot sinucide - indiferent de starea mea, sănătate sau boală - fiindcă nu m-am făcut eu. N-am venit cu voia mea pe lumea asta. Şi nici n-am să plec de voie din ea. Ăsta e jocul fundamental al existenţei mele.”

“Am devenit un gânditor creştin când mi-am dat seama cã fără revelație, fără asistență divină, nu pot ști nici cine sunt, nici ce este lumea, nici dacă are vreun sens sau nu, nici dacă eu am vreun sens sau nu. Nu pot şti de unul singur. Când mi-am dat seama că fără Dumnezeu nu poți cunoaște sensul existenței umane şi universale.”
