“Uno scrittore non vive la vita come se questa gli cadesse addosso dal cielo, ma prevede e disegna ogni istante con metodo e precisione. Scoperchia e studia il mondo alla ricerca del congegno che lo fa funzionare, per poterlo sovvertire. Non gli interessa veramente chi sei e cosa fai, ma quanto materiale emozionale puoi fornirgli, quanta parte di te può trovare spazio, e in che modo, all'interno della sua opera.”
Sara Zelda Mazzini, Cronache dalla fine del mondo

R.F. Kuang
“Trying, he thought, to express some unutterable truth about themselves. Which was that translation was impossible. That the realm of pure meaning they captured and manifested would and could not ever be known. That the enterprise of this tower had been impossible from inception. For how could there ever be an Adamic language? The thought now made him laugh. There was no innate, perfectly comprehensible language. There was no candidate - not English, not French - that could bully and absorb enough to become one. Language was just difference. A thousand different ways of seeing, of moving through the world. No, a thousand worlds within one. And translation, a necessary endeavor however futile, to move between them.”
R.F. Kuang, Babel

Nora Ephron
“Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real.”
Nora Ephron

Sarah Addison Allen
“I libri a volte sono possessivi, vero? Cammini in una libreria e un determinato libro ti salta incontro, come se si fosse spostato lì da solo, soltanto per attirare la tua attenzione. A volte avere intorno un libro è semplicemente un conforto."[...]
"Perché comprate dei libri che non leggete nemmeno?" ci chiede nostra figlia. è come chiedere a qualcuno che vive da solo perché si è comprato un gatto. Perché gli faccia compagnia, ovvio.”
Sarah Addison Allen, The Sugar Queen

R.F. Kuang
“That's the beauty of learning a new language. It should feel like an enormous undertaking. It ought to intimidate you. It makes you appreciate the complexity of the ones you know already.”
R.F. Kuang, Babel
