There is no timeless Romania, however. It is my view that the countrys — Romania

"Ah, this is Romania. MeToo is like 50 years away."

"Because of its lack of geographical unity, Romania is a place full of contrasts."

"Romania has made a remarkable journey from tyranny to freedom, from captive nation to NATO ally -- and it happened, its happened in the space of a single generation."

"Every time I come to Romania, Im impressed again at just how much progress youve made. In a single generation your country has risen from tyranny to join the ranks of the worlds free nations, the European Union, and the most powerful alliance in human history, the NATO alliance."

"Who was your geography teacher? Romania lies in Europe, in France..."

"For much of Rumanias charm is to be found in her mountains. Unforgettable is the first sight of the Carpathians, so thickly, richly wooded that, at a distance, it seems impossible that there could be roads or even paths piercing the greenness."

"In the life of the mass-order, the culture of the generality tends to conform to the demands of the average human being. Spirituality decays through being diffused among the masses when knowledge is impoverished in every possible way by rationalisation until it becomes accessible to the crude understanding of all."

"I say this to you because we Spaniards are a forgetful people, because we are used to living for the moment, because we do not look back, because we do not know how to see the chain of heroes, because we do not contemplate the sum of sacrifices."

"Long time to see. (VS: Tapion)"

"Most mathematicians prove what they can, von Neumann proves what he wants." Once in a discussion about the rapid growth of mathematics in modern times, von Neumann was heard to remark that whereas thirty years ago a mathematician could grasp all of mathematics, that is impossible today. Someone asked him: "What percentage of all mathematics might a person aspire to understand today?" Von Neumann went into one of his five-second thinking trances, and said: "About 28 percent."

"Children must be free to think in all directions irrespective of the peculiar ideas of parents who often seal their childrens minds with preconceived prejudices and false concepts of past generations. Unless we are very careful, very careful indeed, and very conscientious, there is still great danger that our children may turn out to be the same kind of people we are."
