Nâzım Hikmet
“Sei la mia schiavitù sei la mia libertà
Sei la mia carne che brucia
come la nuda carne delle notti d’estate
Sei la mia patria
Tu, coi riflessi verdi dei tuoi occhi
Tu, alta e vittoriosa
Sei la mia nostalgia
di saperti inaccessibile
Nel momento stesso
in cui ti afferro”
Nâzım Hikmet, Poems of Nazım Hikmet

Virginia Woolf
“Alone, I often fall down into nothingness. I must push my foot stealthily lest I should fall off the edge of the world into nothingness. I have to bang my head against some hard door to call myself back to the body.”
Virginia Woolf, The Waves

Ágota Kristóf
“Scriveremo: «Noi mangiamo molte noci», e non: «Amiamo le noci», perché il verbo amare non è un verbo sicuro, manca di precisione e di obiettività. «Amare le noci» e «amare nostra Madre», non può voler dire la stessa cosa. La prima formula designa un gusto gradevole in bocca, e la seconda un sentimento. Le parole che definiscono i sentimenti sono molto vaghe, è meglio evitare il loro impiego e attenersi alla descrizione degli oggetti, degli esseri umani e di se stessi, vale a dire alla descrizione fedele dei fatti.”
Ágota Kristof, Le grand cahier

David Mitchell
“Belief, like fear or love, is a force to be understood as we understand the theory of relativity and principals of uncertainty. Phenomena that determine the course of our lives. Yesterday, my life was headed in one direction. Today, it is headed in another. Yesterday, I believe I would never have done what I did today. These forces that often remake time and space, that can shape and alter who we
imagine ourselves to be, begin long before we are born and continue after we perish. Our lives and our choices, like quantum trajectories, are understood moment to moment. That each point of intersection, each encounter, suggest a new potential direction. Proposition, I have fallen in love with Luisa Rey. Is this possible? I just met her and yet, I feel like something important has happened to me.”
David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

Ágota Kristóf
“Posso persino dire d'aver avuto un'infanzia felice perché non sapevo che esistessero altre infanzie.”
Ágota Kristof, Yesterday
