"The Dacians who stretched from the Dniester to Bohemia gradually appear as the ancestors of the West and as the European precursors of the one God. They were Romanized and Christianized without resistance, because they were the begetters of their conquerors. We have always been there. It is the nobility of the farmer of the Danube, the one who gave Pan to the Greeks, the God whose death a voice announced at the moment in which Jesus expired on the cross and was born in our souls. [...] When the history of the Dacians is as well known as that of Athens or Rome, the West will find a new foundation in it , the oldest and closest, the one that will justify its evolution towards a tirelessly current future. And it won't scare anyone. (Vintilă Horia)"
