Amor Quote by George Topârceanu
““Balada unei stele mici (...) Sarman atom sentimental! Nu stii tu oare Ca viata voastra-i colosal De trecatoare? Zicea: - Ma mir ca te-ai gandit Sa-mi canti o oda. De cand poetii s-au prostit, Amorul nu mai e la moda. Oricum, voi sunteti prea marunti Si eu, prea mare... N-ar fi mai bine sa renunti Si sa va duceti la culcare? Ca nu exista pe pamant Mai venerabila manie Decat - sub stele juramant Pe vesnicie.””
