Audiobook colectiv în lectura autorilor: Gabriel Liiceanu, Ioana Pârvulescu, Radu Paraschivescu, Tatiana Niculescu, Vlad Zografi, Andrei Cornea, Andrei Pleșu "Ce-ar fi să descoperim că adevărata fericire e cea care ne pune viaţa la încercare și îi dă o împlinire tocmai pentru că a fost smulsă unei lumi ostile? S-ar putea ca trecerea noastră pe pământ să capete altă forţă când, în strădania naturală spre fericire, suntem puși în situaţia de a compune un destin nu cu bunăstarea, răsfăţul și trufia marilor popoare, ci cu suferinţa celor insignifiante."

"Cred ca în mai toate familiile exista câte un om deosebit, unul al carui spirit trebuie onorat prin evocarea lui perio­dica. Si pentru ca fiecare dintre noi are nevoie de repere vii, acest om, atunci când exista, nu trebuie pierdut niciodata din memoria urmasilor. Lucrul nici macar nu e foarte greu de facut. Adevarul e ca, de la o vârsta încolo, începem sa ne tragem îndarat; scurtându-se, timpul vietilor noastre cere sa fie îmbo­gatit cu viata celor care ne-au precedat."

"Platon a sesizat aici, sub forma unui mit ontologic, faptul ca orice iubire este o aluzie la eternitate sau, altfel spus, portia la îndemâna a muritorilor la nemurire. Timpul obisnuit si comun este abolit de continuitatea unui extaz. Ce sublim pare totul! Dar sa ne ocupam acum putin de extaz. Dupa cum numele o spune, extazul nu-i altceva decât o iesire din tine, o instalare în afara ta: ek-stasis."

Gabriel Liiceanu: Sa acceptam ca exista gânditori în fata carora te poti "preda", ca gândurile lor, în loc sa fie "digerate pâna la a li se pierde urma", devin totodata, deîndata ce le expui si interpretezi, calea ta privilegiata de acces la lucruri. Nu exista nici o garantie ca numai drumul drept te poate duce la tinta. Exista si ocoluri convenabile. Asa cum exista si exegeze mincinoase. Citezi, sistematizezi, explici. Dar o faci pe fondul unui travesti mental: lasându-l pe celalalt sa vorbeasca, vorbesti si tu odata cu el.

"Nimeni nu traieste cu adevarat daca nu cade sub o forma sau alta de seductie. De fapt, oamenii ramân cel mai adesea acolo unde specia îi asaza: (în "bancul de heringi", de care vorbea un filozof danez), acolo unde se traieste dupa regula tuturor. Acolo ne instalam cu totii din clipa în care venim pe lume si tot acolo ramânem, cei mai multi dintre noi, pâna la sfârsit."
