Philip Roth
“It’s about life, where the tiniest misstep can have tragic consequences.” “Oh,”
Philip Roth, Indignation

Philip Roth
“other people's weakness can destroy you just as much as their strength can. Weak people are not harmless. Their weakness can be their strength.”
Philip Roth, Indignation

Bảo Ninh
“Depuis, plus personne ne parle du 27eme battalion. Pourtant, refusant de rejoindre le ciel, les fantômes, les demons nés de cette défaite continuent à errer parmi les buissons, à l'orée de la jungle, sur les rives du ruisseau. On a donné à ce coin de jungle perdu dans les brumes empoisonnées le nom effrayant de "terre des Ames hurlantes". De temps en temps, à l'occasion des cérémonies de l'enfer les morts se rassemblent sur cette langue de terre comme pour la revue des troupes. On peut entendre leurs voix dans le murmure du ruisseau, les plaintes étouffées, lancinantes de la jungle la nuit, les hurlements du vent à travers les gorges des montagnes. On peut les entendre, les comprendre.”
Bảo Ninh, The Sorrow of War

Gary Chapman
“We have been led to believe that if we are really in love, it will last forever. We will always have the wonderful feelings that we have at this moment. Nothing could ever come between us. Nothing will ever overcome our love for each other. [..] Unfortunately, the eternality of the in-love experience is fiction, not fact. The late psychologist Dr. Dorothy Tennov conducted long range studies on the in-love phenomenon. After studying scores of couples, she concluded that the average life span of a romantic obsession is two years.”
Gary Chapman, The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts

Kenzaburō Ōe
“Ma l'idea non giunse ad affondare le sue radici, finì come quelle di una pianta acquatica, nelle pieghe logorate e affaticate del mio cervello. Questa fantasia fermentò per un po' e poi sparì, come bollicine d'aria in un bicchiere.”
Kenzaburō Ōe, The Silent Cry
