Unde ne sint barbatii de odinioara??…

Un adevarat barbat, nu are niciodata armata Mina Dreapta…

RESPECT… – M-am mindrit dintotdeauna cu faptul ca vad lucrurile sub infatisarea lor reala… Asta-i blestemul Menthalului. Nu se poate impiedica sa nu-si analizeze informatiile… Frank HERBERT – Dune…

Puterea este intotdeauna hotarita… “Tatal meu mi-a spus odata ca respectul pentru adevar, este practic baza intregii morale. “Nimic nu se poate naste din nimic”…spunea el. Este o cugetare profunda, daca te gindesti cit de instabil poate fi “adevarul”… Frank HERBERT – Dune…

Putere si Onoare… ” Ar trebui sa existe o stiinta a Nemultumirii. Oamenii au nevoie de suferinte si de oprimare ca sa-si dezvolte muschii psihici”… Frank HERBERT – Dune…

Putere fara Glorie… Justitia romana este o putere fara glorie, este o putere ticaloasa, nu serveste decit interesele celor care o imbraca… Armata romana traieste o glorie stearsa, opaca fara nici un fel de stralucire motivanta… Sanatatea romana este atrofiata, uscata, neiertatoare… Societatea romana, insasi este o putere contranaturii, care-si devoreaza progeniturile sistematic…

Promisiunea in Tinuta de Gala… Cine isi mai tine cuvintul dat, astazi in Romania?… Nimeni , dar absolut nimeni… Pina la urma am si uitat ce semnificatie mai are CUVINTUL DAT… Mai degraba CUVINTUL LUAT, ne excita si ne indreapta spre nemurirea de carton ondulat… Ne dam cuvintele si apoi ni le luam foarte firesc [...]

Privirea, ca un Secol de Onoare…
