“Oggi che t'aspettavo
non sei venuta.
E la tua assenza so quel che mi dice
e la tua assenza che tumultuava
nel vuoto che hai lasciato
come una stella.
Dice che non vuoi amarmi.
Quale un estivo temporale
s'annuncia e poi s'allontana,
così, ti sei negata alla mia sete.
L'amore sul nascere,
ha di questi improvvisi pentimenti.
Silenziosamente
ci samo intesi.
Amore, amore, come sempre
vorrei coprirti di fiori e d'insulti.”
― Vincenzo Cardarelli

“Boiling water will soften a potato but harden an egg. You can’t control whether you’re a potato or an egg, but you can decide to play a game where it’s better to be hard or soft.”

“When Adam bit the apple he did it because he trusted Eve. Because he loved her. Adam bit into the apple because the woman he loved told him to, no matter what God said. No matter the rules of heaven. What's heaven to a woman's love anyway? What's God to your wife? The first sins of humanity, were trusting others. Eve trusted a snake, Adam trusted Eve, and I trust you. Maybe that's a sin, just like the first couple. Maybe everyone's right about us and we're sinners and we offend God. But like I said, what's God to a woman's love anyway? What has heaven got that I can't find sitting next to you on a cool autumn morning?”
