Quotes by Constantin Virgil Gheorghiu (?)

“إن الإنسان يستطيع السيطرة على كل الحيوانات المفترسة.
غير أن حيوانا جديدا ظهر على سطح الأرض في الآونة الأخيرة. وهذا الحيوان الجديد اسمه : المواطنون.
إنهم لا يعيشون في الغابات، ولا في الأدغال، بل في المكاتب. ومع ذلك فإنهم أشد قسوة وضراوة من الحيوانات المتوحشة في الأدغال.
لقد ولدوا من اتحاد الرجل مع الآلات. إنهم نوع من أبناء السفاح، وهو أقوى الأصول والأجناس الموجودة على سطح الأرض.”
― Constantin Virgil Gheorghiu, الساعة الخامسة والعشرون

“انه ليس الأسف للبقاء بل انه الحنين إلى شيء نعتقد في صحته في خيالنا، شيء لن نمتلكه ابدا واذا بلغناه فاننا سرعان ما نجد انه لم يكن هو موضوع أحلامنا”
