Carlo Goldoni
“Il mondo è un bel libro, ma poco serve a chi non lo sa leggere.”
Carlo Goldoni, Pamela nubile

Charles Dickens
“The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.”
Charles Dickens, Nicholas Nickleby

Italo Calvino
“One reads alone, even in another's presence.”
Italo Calvino, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler

Italo Calvino
“...the people who move through the streets are all strangers. At each encounter, they imagine a thousand things about one another; meetings which could take place between them, conversations, surprises, caresses, bites. But no one greets anyone; eyes lock for a second, then dart away, seeking other eyes, never stopping...something runs among them, an exchange of glances like lines that connect one figure with another and draw arrows, stars, triangles, until all combinations are used up in a moment, and other characters come on to the scene... ”
Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

Donna Tartt
“That life - whatever else it is - is short. That fate is cruel but maybe not random. That Nature (meaning Death) always wins but that doesn’t mean we have to bow and grovel to it. That maybe even if we’re not always so glad to be here, it’s our task to immerse ourselves anyway: wade straight through it, right through the cesspool, while keeping eyes and hearts open. And in the midst of our dying, as we rise from the organic and sink back ignominiously into the organic, it is a glory and a privilege to love what Death doesn’t touch.”
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch
