Book cover for Bad Behavior (Penguin Modern Classics)
All the conventions conspire To make this fort assume The furniture of home; Lest we should see where we are, Lost in a haunted wood, Children afraid of the night Who have never been happy or good. – W. H. Auden, September 1, 1939

Maurice Blanchot
“By her anguish; she made the sacrifice, full of strangeness, of her certainty that she existed, in order to give a sense to this nothingness of love which she had become. and thus, deep within her, already sealed, already dead, the most profound passion came to be.”
Maurice Blanchot, Thomas the Obscure

Italo Calvino
“Ciò che conta è comunicare l’indispensabile lasciando perdere tutto il superfluo, ridurre noi stessi a comunicazione essenziale, a segnale luminoso che si muove in una data direzione, abolendo la complessità delle nostre persone e situazioni ed espressioni facciali, lasciandole nella scatola d’ombra che i fari si portano dietro e nascondono. La Y che io amo in realtà è quel fascio di raggi luminosi in movimento, e tutto il resto di lei può rimanere implicito; e il me stesso che lei può amare, il me stesso che ha il potere d’entrare in quel circuito d’esaltazione che è la sua vita affettiva, è il lampeggio di questo sorpasso che sto, per amor suo e non senza qualche rischio, tentando.”
Italo Calvino, Difficult Loves

Annie Ernaux
“I believe I am writing about my mother because it is my turn to bring her into the world.”
Annie Ernaux, A Woman's Story

David Szalay
“And all that burgeoning physicality is held within yourself as a sort of secret, even as it is also the actual surface that you present to the world, so that you’re left absurdly exposed, unsure whether the world knows everything about you or nothing, because you have no way of knowing whether these experiences that you’re having are universal or entirely specific”
David Szalay, Flesh

Leigh Bardugo
“Perché sprechi le tue forze per contrastare la tua vera natura?”
Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone
