Great Roman Quotes

Elton Trueblood

Ere bloody hands were washed, with such a peace. — William Shakespeare

There's this quote by a writer, Emil Cioran, he's a Romanian writer. He says that you should only put things in books that you would never dare to say to people in real life.

We could say that Romanian Onirisme was born from painting and not from surrealist literature. The visual is primordial. Dimov said, 'Dreams are not a source, but a canon, a legislative model.' — Dumitru Tepeneag
Our Onirisme movement was a synthesis between the Romantic Fantastique and Surrealism. Dimov and I rejected automatic writing. We loved surrealist painters: Chirico, Magritte, Tanguy and especially Brauner (also a Romanian), who never respected the laws that Breton imposed in his manifests. — Dumitru Tepeneag
On the other hand, Surrealism has been a part of Romanian literature since forever. Even before Tzara, who was originally Romanian, we had Urmuz, who was a surrealist before the term even existed.

They had to quit their activities as soon as the Soviet communists took over. — Dumitru Tepeneag

My first book published in France was translated and titled Exercices d'Attente in 1972. It was a collection of short works written and published in Romania.

Some years later, I finished Necessary Marriage. — Dumitru Tepeneag
After multiple trips to Paris and being accused of participating in 'heinous' activities in regard to the state, I found my Romanian nationality revoked by 'presidential decree' in 1975.

This wasn't easy...I finally obtained my French citizenship in 1983. — Dumitru Tepeneag

I believe the first draft of a book — even a long one — should take no more than three months…Any longer and — for me, at least — the story begins to take on an odd foreign feel, like a dispatch from the Romanian Department of Public Affairs, or something broadcast on high-band shortwave duiring a period of severe sunspot activity. — Stephen King
