When a conversation takes a turn into the sometimes uncomfortable and often contentious topics of race, religion, gender, sexuality, and politics, it can be difficult to know what to say or how to respond to someone you disagree with.

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."

He asumido hace tiempo que jamás lograré extirpar el dolor de mis pacientes, porque el dolor es parte constitutiva de la vida. No importa cuánto alguien se analice, de todos modos sufrirá si pierde un amor, o si muere un ser querido. El dolor es inevitable, pero no el padecimiento. Y esa diferencia es la que hace que cada día vuelva al consultorio. Sé que tampoco lograré que desaparezca en ellos la sensación, aunque a veces leve y susurrada, de soledad. Pero es así, pues, como decía aquella vieja canción, estamos todos solos.

García Márquez construyó, en El otoño del patriarca, una maquinaria narrativa perfecta que desgrana una historia universal -la agonía y muerte de un dictador- en forma cíclica, experimental y real al mismo tiempo, en seis bloques narrativos sin diálogos, sin puntos y aparte, repitiendo una anécdota siempre igual y siempre distinta, acumulando hechos y descripciones deslumbrantes.

The more we elevate and seek out privacy, the more it seems to diminish. Such is the paradox we have inherited. It is no coincidence that the word privacy was popularized in the 1890s as the West began its flirtation with centralization and top-down planning. The progressive pursuit of heaven on earth—of Utopia—arose from a desire to help the individual. But the individual would have to expose himself, to give up everything, in order to receive it.

Paris, Cartierul Latin, într-una din mansardele pamântului: istoria otravita a sfîrsitului nostru de mileniu s-a petrecut în afara acestui spatiu nespus de modest, dar abia aici, sub acoperisul de pe strada Odéon 21, s-a nascut opera care avea sa devina constiinta nefericirii noastre. Autorul ei, un Nietzsche contemporan trecut pe la scoala moralistilor francezi, a fost pe rând considerat nihilistul veacului, the king of pessimists, scepticul de serviciu al unei lumi în declin.

Este no es un libro escrito exclusivamente para psicólogos, sino para todo aquel que se interese en el dolor y en la posibilidad de superarlo. Sus protagonistas no han sido el fruto de un capricho literario, sino que los he visto desgarrarse, reír, llorar, frustrarse y enojarse en mi consultorio semana tras semana, escribía Gabriel Rolón en el prólogo de la primera edición de Historias de diván, en junio de 2007.

A trăi înseamnă să poți supraviețui strivit între două imagini despre tine: a ta și a celorlalți. "Vieţile noastre, în singurătatea lor, pot fi asemănate, pentru a folosi o vorbă a lui Platon, cu o "panglică de măsurat fără semne pe ea". Am o viaţă. Iată, iau părţi din ea şi, povestindu-le, le pun în vitrină. Scoţându-le în lume, pun semne pe panglica vieţii mele. O fac cu gândul că, astfel "însemnată", viaţa mea ar putea fi folosită ca unitate de măsură. Veţi afla, astfel, doamnelor şi domnilor, dacă viaţa voastră e mai frumoasă sau mai urâtă decât a mea.

El 26 de octubre de 1949 el reportero Gabriel García Márquez fue enviado al antiguo convento de Santa Clara, que iba a ser demolido para edificar sobre él un hotel de cinco estrellas, a presenciar el vaciado de las criptas funerarias y a cubrir la noticia. Se exhumaron los restos de un virrey del Perú y su amante secreta, un obispo, varias abadesas, un bachiller de artes y una marquesa.
