Tacitus
“Men are more ready to repay an injury than a benefit, because gratitude is a burden and revenge a pleasure”
Tacitus

Ray Bradbury
“But no man's a hero to himself.”
Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes

Jón Kalman Stefánsson
“Esistere per ottant’anni eppure non vivere, si potrebbe anche chiamare tradimento verso la vita, perché ci sono altri che nascono e muoiono prima di avere il tempo di balbettare le prime parole, prendono le coliche, un brutto raffreddore e Jón il falegname deve costruire una piccola bara, una piccola cassa da morto intorno a una vita che non è mai stata, se non per qualche notte insonne, occhi disarmanti e lacrime così piccole che sembravano miracoli. Esseri che sono rimasti al mondo poco più della rugiada. Svaniti al nostro risveglio, e tutto quello che possiamo fare è sperare nel profondo di noi stessi, dove batte il cuore e si radicano i sogni, che nessuna vita sia stata invano, sia senza uno scopo.”
Jón Kalman Stefánsson, Heaven and Hell

Elena Ferrante
“At that moment I knew what the plebs were, much more clearly than when, years earlier, she had asked me. The plebs were us. The plebs were that fight for food and wine, that quarrel over who should be served first and better, that dirty floor on which the waiters clattered back and forth, those increasingly vulgar toasts. The plebs were my mother, who had drunk wine and now was leaning against my father’s shoulder, while he, serious, laughed, his mouth gaping, at the sexual allusions of the metal dealer. They were all laughing, even Lila, with the expression of one who has a role and will play it to the utmost.”
Elena Ferrante, My Brilliant Friend

Jón Kalman Stefánsson
“Il merluzzo non ha alcun interesse per nessuna parola eppure nuota negli oceani quasi immutato da centoventi milioni di anni. E questo ci dice qualcosa sulla lingua? Forse non abbiamo bisogno di parole per sopravvivere, ne abbiamo bisogno per vivere.”
Jón Kalman Stefánsson, Heaven and Hell
