Drumuri

[egoZaur] de Sorin-Mihai Grad Suntem dresați, ca să nu zic mințiți, că drumul ar fi mai important decât destinația. Bănuiesc că primul care a emanat această gogomănie n-a prea avut parte de succes în întreprinderile sale, așa că și-a inventat o consolare. Poate chiar ca scuză pentru că nu era-n stare să se sinucidă, ca […]

Autodistrugere și identitate

de Marius-Iulian Stancu “The trees can’t grow without the sun in their eyes And we can’t live if we’re too afraid to die.” [The Black Angels] Din insomnia lui Tyler Durden ia naştere Fight Club.

In addition to four authorized original albums released during his lifetime, many more would be […]

by Dana Manoli November, 1355 The horses’ hooves pound near my carriage like stones against my flesh. “Princess Ana.” The commander’s voice cuts through the padded walls, making me frown. “It’s the Red Tower. We’re close.” Our seven-day journey through a plague-stricken land is nearly over.
