“una generazione di giovani, magari con quindici o vent'anni di studio alle spalle, coperti di premi e di lodi, che però non hanno letto niente, non vanno oltre i loro curriculum scolastici o universitari, che sono ignoranti e per giunta privi di curiosità. Un'ora in loro compagnia mette in crisi qualunque vostro concetto di istruzione... Con loro è impossibile avere una vera conversazione, perché parlano solo di se stessi, dei loro amici, dei personaggi famosi, di shopping, di ricette. Vivono in piccoli mondi ristretti e impenetrabili.”

― Il senso della memoria: Saggi e racconto
“We stood, separated by space, certainly, in identical conditions of pleasant uncertainty and anticipation, and we both held our heart in our hands, all pink and palpitating and ready for pleasure and pain, and we were about to throw these hearts in each other's faces like snowballs, or cricket balls (How's that?) or, more accurately, like great bleeding wounds: "Take my wound". Because the last thing one ever thinks at such moments is that he (or she) will say: Take my wound, please remove the spear from my side. No, not at all; one simply expects to get rid of one's one.”
