"Our language is the supreme instrument of the Romanian identity, not only enbodying our spirit and our way of percieving the surrounding world but also representing our fate: only through our language we can see what we are and our connection with the other ethnicities surrounding us. It belongs to us more than any other spiritual inheritance, 'cause it reflects the soul of our people and the entire reality of our spiritual life " Theodor Capidan

"The Romanian people are an unitary and undivisible body, regardless of the region wherein historical circumstances have settled it. Macedo-Romanians (Aromanians) are the most aloof branch of the Romanian trunk" Nicolae Constantin Batzaria

"At the Bridge, in my village, came a doctor from Chișinău with his four years old son to whom he promised, even since they left from Chișinău, that he would have a chance to see Romanians. The ones from the right shore were dripping wet. The people from my side rushed to bring dry clothes for our beloved guests. Everybody was speaking in the same language - Romanian. After a few glasses of brandy they started to sing - they were singing the same songs. At an age when he was yet to be touched by our linguistic lies, the doctor's son asked his father with a charming naivity: Dad, you promised that you'll let me see Romanians. Which ones are they?"
