“History is not a nightmare from which I am trying to awaken, but rather, a glorious tale which I wish to be cast in.”
― The Italian Pleasures of Gabriele Paterkallos
― The Italian Pleasures of Gabriele Paterkallos
“Imagine someone reaching straight into your chest, past the bones and blood and guts, and taking a nice firm hold on your spinal cord. Now imagine that they start shaking you so fast, the world starts bulging and buckling under you. Imagine not being able to figure out later if the thought in your head is really yours or an unintentional keepsake from someone else's mind. Imagine the guilt of knowing you saw someone's deepest, darkest fear or secret...”
