Vladimir Nabokov
“Only one letter divides the comic from the cosmic.”
Nabokov Vladimir

Neil Gaiman
“. . . I lay on the bed and lost myself in the stories.
I liked that. Books were safer than other people anyway.”
Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Neil Gaiman
“I only have two kinds of dreams: the bad and the terrible. Bad dreams I can cope with. They're just nightmares, and they end eventually. I wake up.
The terrible dreams are the good dreams. In my terrible dreams, everything is fine. I am still with the company. I still look like me. None of the last five years ever happened. Sometimes I'm married. Once I even had kids. I even knew their names. Everything's wonderful and normal and fine. And then I wake up, and I'm still me. And I'm still here. And that is truly terrible.”
Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 3: Dream Country

Angela Carter
“Stars on our door, stars in our eyes, stars exploding in the bits of our brains where the common sense should have been”
Angela Carter, Wise Children

Dino Buzzati
“Ma l'incontro con la Laide gli aveva lasciato uno strano turbamento. Forse anche per il ricordo della tipa incontrata in corso Garibaldi. Come se qualcosa lo avesse toccato dentro. Come se quella ragazza fosse diversa dalle solite. Come se fra loro due dovessero succedere molte altre cose. Come se lui ne fosse uscito differente. Come se Laide incarnasse nel modo più perfetto e intenso il mondo avventuroso e proibito. Come se ci fosse stata una predestinazione. Come quando uno, senza alcun particolare sintomo, ha la sensazione di stare per ammalarsi, ma non sa di che cosa né il motivo. Come quando si ode dabbasso il cigolio del cancello e la casa è immensa, ci abitano centinaia di famiglie e all'ingresso è un continuo andirivieni eppure all'improvviso si sa che ad aprire il cancello è stata una persona la quale viene a cercarci.”
Dino Buzzati, Un amore
