“Con le ombre è come con le nuvole: vedete solo quello che pensate di vedere. E se è così che ve lo immaginate, allora è così che lo vedrete.”

“Nothing in the world means as much to me as this," she said very seriously. "It means I am safe. It means I am loved. It means I am owned."
"Like a slave?" I said uncertainly.
"Like a treasure," she answered, and she smiled a smile worth many, many more watts than sixty.”
― The Past Is Red

“Deep down she suspected being in love just was two people lying to each other, concealing their violence.”

“A volte non riesco a scrollarmi di dosso il senso di vuoto, dissi.
Annuì. Sembrava sapere benissimo cosa intendevo.
Quando ero nell'aeronautica pilotavo grossi aerei, disse. Non c'era il tempo di aver paura. Ero troppo preso a volare.
In che senso, domandai.
Ecco perché mi sono messo a suonare il sax: sono troppo concentrato a trovare le note per preoccuparmi della mia vita.
Io non ho niente del genere, dissi.”
― L’ultima cosa bella sulla faccia della terra

“Everyone else lived in such an ossified world. They simply took the rules given to them. They were interested only in articulating their own limits; they moved about as if in stone. But magicians lived in air, dancing on a tentative staircase of ideas, and it was a source of endless delirium, to know that the instant the world began to bore you, you could snap your fingers, and you'd be in free fall once again.
All it took was to tell a lie - and to believe, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that all the rules could be suspended.”
― Katabasis
