Haruki Murakami
“So what’s wrong if there happens to be one guy in the world who enjoys trying to understand you?”
Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Philip Roth
“We leave a stain, we leave a trail, we leave our imprint. Impurity, cruelty, abuse, error, excrement, semen - there’s no other way to be here. Nothing to do with disobedience. Nothing to do with grace or salvation or redemption. It’s in everyone. Indwelling. Inherent. Defining. The stain that is there before its mark.”
Philip Roth, The Human Stain

Peter    Cameron
“Avrei tanto voluto che la giornata fosse tutta come la colazione, quando le persone sono ancora sintonizzate sui loro sogni e non è previsto che debbano affrontare il mondo esterno. Mi sono reso conto che io sono sempre così; per me non arriva mai il momento in cui, dopo una tazza di caffè o una doccia, mi sento improvvisamente pieno di vita, sveglio e in sintonia col mondo. Se si fosse sempre a colazione, io sarei a posto.”
Peter Cameron (Someday This Pain Will Be Useful To You)

Elena Ferrante
“When the task we give ourselves has the urgency of passion, there's nothing that can keep us from completing it.”
Elena Ferrante, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay

Thomas Bernhard
“Every person is a unique and autonomous person and actually, considered independently, the greatest artwork of all time...”
Thomas Bernhard, The Loser
