Max Nowaz
“The world is full of magic. You’ve just got to learn how to access it.”
Max Nowaz, Get Rich or Get Lucky

Primo Levi
“Pensava a una cosa che non aveva pensata da molto tempo, poiché aveva sofferto assai: che il dolore non si può togliere, non si deve, perché è il nostro guardiano. Spesso è un guardiano sciocco, perché è inflessibile, è fedele alla sua consegna con ostinazione maniaca, e non si stanca mai, mentre tutte le altre sensazioni si stancano, si logorano, specialmente quelle piacevoli. Ma non si può sopprimerlo, farlo tacere, perché è tutt'uno con la vita, ne è il custode.”
Primo Levi, Storie naturali

J.K. Franko
“And I looked out at the dog, and McCoy trying to cradle her in one arm and cut the rope with t’other, and I said, ‘What goes around, comes around, daddy.’
“And he just smiled. A wicked smile. And he nodded. And he kept on driving, turning left onto the road to the church.”  ”
J.K. Franko, The Trial of Joe Harlan Junior

Sara Pascoe
“But if you flip this around, the reason women are smaller and weaker is that men weren’t worth fighting over.
Hold my bag while I victory-lap.”
Sara Pascoe

Zora Neale Hurston
“She must talk to a man who was ten immensities away.”
Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God
