“Signor mio, un romanzo è lo specchio che si fa muovere lungo una grande strada. Talvolta riflette a’ vostri occhi l’azzurro dei cieli, talvolta il fango dei pantani di quella strada. E voi accuserete d’immoralità l’uomo che porta lo specchio nella sua gerla! Il suo specchio mostra il fango, e voi accusate lo specchio! Accusate invece la strada ov’è il pantano, e più ancora l’ispettore stradale che lascia infracidire l’acqua e il pantano formarsi.”
― Stendhal, Le Rouge et le Noir

“It is a mysterious thing how cheerful people become in the face of disaster. My father whistled as he boarded up the windows, and my mother from time to time would call to him happily out the back door. She obviously was enjoying the unusual pleasure of having him home on a weekday morning. Tomorrow they might be ruined or dead, today they had each other.”
― Katherine Paterson, Jacob Have I Loved
