"Quant a l'Europe, c'est un horizon plutot qu'une patrie, mais le seul ou puisse eclore une belle utopie sur le double terreau de l'ideal et du pragmatisme. Tout de meme, quand je suis a Bologne, a Cambridge, a Heidelberg, a Vienne, a Seville, a Cracovie, a Lisbonne, a Budapest ou a Belgrade, j'ai l'impression grisante de retrouver des cousins oublies ou negliges depui quelques siecles."

Ne znam da li ste nekad pili portugalska vina. Sad kad sam bila u Rumuniji, Portugalci su na vece posveceno prezentacijama vina doneli Porto i Malagu. Kako da objasnim da li su mi se dopala i zasto? Jednostavno, probas to i shvatis da nesto takvo niti si pio, niti si znao i zamisljao da postoji ali da zelis da nastavis sa time u zivotu. Francuzi mi rekose da se taj Porto pije polagano, sa uzivanjem. E pa taj deo sa polako je malo teze sprovesti, bar meni. Posle sam pila neko poznato crno italijansko, ali je izgledalo...hm...samo kao vino, nista vise. A pre toga sam pila rumunsku rakiju i rumunsko belo. Ujutro, nista, nikakve glavobolje i cuda. Cuda mediterana, kazem.
