“It is in meeting the great tests that mankind can most successfully rise to great heights. Out of danger and restless insecurity comes the force that pushes mankind to newer and loftier conquests.

― Isaac Asimov, The End of Eternity

Se proprio vuoi saperlo, secondo me così non vale la pena di diventare grandi.”
― Neil Gaiman

“We weren’t ourselves when we fell in love, and when we became ourselves – surprise! – we were poison. We complete each other in the nastiest, ugliest possible way.”
― Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl
