Quotes by Masande Ntshanga (?)

“It didn't feel like a prison, but the remains of an alien civilization which had now fled, its mission untenable; but not wanting to be forgotten, it had left behind unreadable signs, as out of place as hieroglyphs inside an igloo.”
― Masande Ntshanga, Triangulum

“Litha dice che quando si è bambini si crede di poter mangiare qualsiasi cosa, e quando si è genitori si crede di poter insegnare qualsiasi cosa. [...] Dice che quando si è bambini, tutto ciò che si vede è reale. Ci sono persone dentro la TV e la frutta di plastica è commestibile. «Questo è il mondo che ci viene dato.»”
― Masande Ntshanga, Triangulum

“Pensai a Pius mentre tornavo a casa, immaginandolo come tutti noi, una configurazione di sostanze chimiche e carne su cui grava una coscienza — che consideravo come una vaga collezione di idee, sia cumulative sia transitorie, che alimentavano il motore di una macchina calda e umida.”
― Masande Ntshanga, Triangulum
