    Hermann Hesse
    “Toltosi il berretto, la salutò profondamente come una principessa e se n'andò col cuore oppresso; doveva lasciarla perire. Rimase a lungo turbato, non aveva voglia di parlare con nessuno. Per quanto poco si assomigliassero, quella fiera e povera israelita gli ricordava in certo modo Lidia, la figlia del cavaliere. Amare donne come quelle era fonte di dolore. Ma per qualche tempo gli parve di non aver mai amato altre che queste due, la povera, inquieta Lidia e l'ombrosa, amara israelita.”
    ― Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund

    William Shakespeare
    “Il dardo omicida che è stato scoccato
    Non ha toccato terra; è la via più sicura
    E' quella di evitarne la caduta.
    Dunque, a cavallo.
    Non indugiamo in leziosi congedi:
    Prendiamo il volo. C'è onore nella fuga
    Di chi abbandona il luogo in cui s'è estinta ogni pietà”
    ― William Shakespeare, Macbeth
