The few years of Mihai Eminescu were enough for him to live on through the ages, and the day of his birth to be the same as the National Culture Day, said Minister Lucian Romascanu, in a statement for AGERPRES.
According to Lucian Romascanu, "culture is (...) the invisible thread holding us together, making us startle the same, here or wherever, at the tolling of bells, at the Romanian verse or the sound of [our] carols."
