“Modern party-dance is simply writhing to suggestive music. It is ridiculous, silly to watch and excruciatingly embarrassing to perform. It is ridiculous, and yet absolutely everyone does it, so that it is the person who does not want to do the ridiculous thing who feels out of place and uncomfortable and self-conscious . . . in a word, ridiculous. Right out of Kafka: the person who does not want to do the ridiculous thing is the person who is ridiculous. [...] Modern party-dance is an evil thing.”

“E poi chi l'ha detto che si deve proprio vivere allo scoperto, sempre sporti sul cornicione delle cose, a cercare l'impossibile, a spiare tutte le scappatoie per sguasciare via dalla realtà? E' proprio obbligatorio essere eccezionali? Io non lo so. Ma mi tengo stretta questa vita mia e non mi vergogno di niente: nemmeno delle mie soprascapre. C'è una dignità immensa, nella gente, quando si porta addosso le proprie paure, senza barare, come medaglie della propria mediocrità. E io sono uno di quelli.”
