Jennifer Egan
“I don’t want to fade away, I want to flame away - I want my death to be an attraction, a spectacle, a mystery. A work of art.”
Jennifer Egan, A Visit from the Goon Squad

Eleonora C. Caruso
“«E la storia è su di loro che…?»
«Cazzeggiano. Cioè, in realtà viaggiano e cercano la Pietra Filosofale, che annulla lo scambio equivalente.»
«Per riavere i loro corpi.»
«Esatto. Lo aspetto con ansia perché voglio vedere se trombano.»
«Tra loro?»
«Sì.»
«…ma sono fratelli.»
«E…?»
Lui tace, sprofonda nella poltrona e continua a guardare. Dopo un po’ si sporge in avanti con slancio. «No, sul serio, sono fratelli!»
«Ebbè, c’è tensione sessuale.»
«Come fa a esserci tensione sessuale tra fratelli, uno dei quali è un’armatura?»
«Sono giapponesi, creerebbero tensione sessuale tra un ravanello e il piatto.»
Ci riflette e poi, persuaso, torna ad appoggiare la schiena. «Va bene, ha senso.»”
Eleonora C. Caruso, Comunque vada non importa

Charles de Lint
“Remember the quiet wonders. The world has more need of them than it has for warriors.”
Charles de Lint, Moonheart

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“I sometimes have moments of such despair, such despair … Because in those moments I start to think that I will never be capable of beginning to live a real life; because I have already begun to think that I have lost all sense of proportion, all sense of the real and the actual; because, what is more, I have cursed myself; because my nights of fantasy are followed by hideous moments of sobering! And all the time one hears the human crowd swirling and thundering around one in the whirlwind of life, one hears, one sees how people live—that they live in reality, that for them life is not something forbidden, that their lives are not scattered for the winds like dreams or visions but are forever in the process of renewal, forever young, and that no two moments in them are ever the same; while how dreary and monotonous to the point of being vulgar is timorous fantasy, the slave of shadow, of the idea...”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, White Nights

Willa Cather
“The world is little, people are little, human life is little. There is only one big thing — desire.”
Willa Cather, The Song of the Lark
