Amor Quote by Octavian Paler
““Lumea e plina de masti de sticla. Te uiti si nu le vezi. Mîngîi fata unei femei si nu simti masca asta de sticla. Se îmbratiseaza doi amanti si nu simt unul la celalalt masca de sticla. Se saruta si nu simt. Mama îsi creste copilul si nu simte cum odata cu obrazul se largeste si masca de sticla. Nu, aceste masti nu se vad. Dar opriti-va undeva, vroiam sa le strig, si tipati, cereti ajutor, amenintati.””
