“Si è propensi a pensare che le emozioni siano nemiche della razionalità, ma la verità è che esse guidano la nostra percezione del mondo e i nostri ricordi del passato.
E non devi essere ostile verso la tristezza perché la tristezza sa aprirci squarci che ci permettono di guardarci dentro da una prospettiva nuova. Ci rende consapevoli.”
― Alessia Gazzola, Un po' di follia in primavera

“So now you must choose... Are you a child who has not yet become world-weary? Or are you a philosopher who will vow never to become so? To children, the world and everything in it is new, something that gives rise to astonishment. It is not like that for adults. Most adults accept the world as a matter of course. This is precisely where philosophers are a notable exception. A philosopher never gets quite used to the world. To him or her, the world continues to seem a bit unreasonable - bewildering, even enigmatic. Philosophers and small children thus have an important faculty in common. The only thing we require to be good philosophers is the faculty of wonder…”
― Jostein Gaarder, Sophie’s World
