Amor Quote by Emil Cioran
““Am primit azi scrisoarea cu fotografia tatii. In cea mică, l-am găsit aproape neschimbat, doar puţin îmbătrînit; în cealaltă, luată în catedrală, l-am regăsit cu greu, căci trăsăturile exprimă seninătatea teribilă a veşniciei. Mă gîndesc cît de cumplite trebuie să fie zilele fără el.””
