Umberto Eco
“Non conta la fede che un movimento propone, conta la speranza che offre. Gratta l’eresia, troverai il lebbroso. E ogni battaglia contro l’eresia vuole solo che il lebbroso rimanga lebbroso.”
Umberto Eco, Il nome della rosa

Michel Houellebecq
“La spécificité de la littérature, art majeur d'un Occident qui sous nos yeux se termine, n'est pourtant pas bien difficile à définir. Autant que la littérature, la musique peut déterminer un bouleversement, un renversement émotif, une tristesse ou une extase absolues ; autant que la littérature, la peinture peut générer un émerveillement, un regard neuf porté sur le monde. Mais seule la littérature peut vous donner cette sensation de contact avec un autre esprit humain, avec l'intégralité de cet esprit, ses faiblesses et ses grandeurs, ses limitations, ses petitesses, ses idées fixes, ses croyances ; avec tout ce qui l'émeut, l'intéresse, l'excite ou lui répugne. Seule la littérature peut vous permettre d'entrer en contact avec l'esprit d'un mort, de manière plus directe, plus complète et plus profonde que ne le ferait même la conversation avec un ami”
Michel Houellebecq, Soumission

Umberto Eco

Umberto Eco, Il nome della rosa

Oscar Wilde
“Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power.”
Oscar Wilde

Paula Danziger
“When my father would yell at me, I told myself someday I'd use it in a book.”
