“There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive.
This ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living, comes to the artist, caught up and out of himself in a sheet of flame; it comes to the soldier, war-mad in a stricken field and refusing quarter; and it came to Buck, leading the pack, sounding the old wolf-cry, straining after the food that was alive and that fled swiftly before him through the moonlight.”
― Jack London, The Call of the Wild

“He had fallen into darkness. And the instant he knew, he ceased to know.”

“as for himself, being not of an enterprising spirit, he was content to go on in the old forms, to live in the
houses his ancestors had built, and act as they did, in every part of life, without innovation: that

eye of contempt and ill-will, as enemies to art, ignorant, and ill common-wealth's men, preferring
their own ease and sloth before the general improvement of their country.”
― Jonathan Swift, Guiliver's Travels

“Sentirsi solo è un piacere che spaventa.”
