“David Foster Wallace: I think one of the insidious lessons about TV is the meta-lesson that you’re dumb. This is all you can do. This is easy, and you’re the sort of person who really just wants to sit in a chair and have it easy. When in fact there are parts of us, in a way, that are a lot more ambitious than that. And what we need, I think—and I’m not saying I’m the person to do it. But I think what we need is seriously engaged art, that can teach again that we’re smart. And that there’s stuff that TV and movies—although they’re great at certain things—cannot give us.”

“Lunedì.
Comunque nel frattempo è stata trovata la spiegazione scientifica del blues del lunedì: Dio ha creato il mondo in sei giorni, la domenica si è riposato, il lunedì ha guardato quello che aveva fattoe gli è venuta una tristezza, ma una tristezza... E così ci guarda ogni lunedì, nella sua infinita disperazione.”
― Tiziano Sclavi, Non è successo niente
