Paolo Rumiz
“I viaggi che riescono meglio sono quelli che non si fa a tempo a preparare.
Quelli che si affrontano senza una zavorra di libri. In leggerezza.
Portandosi dietro nient’altro che l’esperienza dei nomadismi precedenti.”

– Trans Europa Express –”
Paolo Rumiz

Deborah Levy
“Like everything that involves love, our children made us happy beyond measure – and unhappy too – but never as miserable as the twenty-first century Neo-Patriarchy made us feel. It required us to be passive but ambitious, maternal but erotically energetic, self-sacrificing but fulfilled – we were to be Strong Modern Women while being subjected to all kinds of humiliations, both economic and domestic. If we felt guilty about everything most of the time, we were not sure what it was we had actually done wrong." (from "Things I Don't Want to Know" by Deborah Levy)”
Deborah Levy, Things I Don't Want to Know

Patrick Leigh Fermor
“I found it impossible to tear myself away from my station and plunge into Hungary. I feel the same disability now; a momentary reluctance to lay hands on this particular fragment of the future; not out of fear, but because, within arm's reach and still intact, this future seemed, and still seems, so full of promised marvels.”
Patrick Leigh Fermor, A Time of Gifts

Claude Lévi-Strauss
“The first thing we see as we travel round the world is our own filth, thrown into the face of mankind.”
Claude Lévi-Strauss, Tristes Tropiques

Ursula K. Le Guin
“The wind and light on rock top hill and his voice and the rest, all the rest. All the days and lights and winds and years that would have been and that would not be. That should be and were not because he was dead. Shot dead on the road in the wind at 21. His mountains unclimbed, never to be climbed.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Eye of the Heron
