“Oppure "essere" e "avere" sono verbi del tutto inadeguati nell'intricata matassa del desiderio, per cui avere il corpo di qualcuno da toccare ed essere quel qualcuno che desideriamo toccare è la stessa cosa, sono solo rive opposte di un fiume che scorre dall'uno all'altro, poi torna indietro e infine va di nuovo verso l'altro, e ancora, e ancora, un circuito perpetuo dove le cavità del cuore, come le botole del desiderio e i buchi del tempo e il cassetto a doppiofondo chiamato identità, condividono una logica ingannevole, secondo la quale la distanza più breve tra vita reale e vita non vissuta, tra ciò che siamo e ciò che vogliamo, è una scalinata tortuosa.”

“Like life, what gives a story its meaning is the fact that it ends. Our stories have lives of their own—and its up to us to make them mean something.”

“Beat, happy stars, timing with things below,
Beat with my heart more blest than heart can tell,
Blest, but for some dark undercurrent woe
That seems to draw—but it shall not be so:
Let all be well, be well.”
― The Works of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Vol. 3: Maud in Memoriam; The Princess; Enoch Arden

“Se ti ricordi tutto, volevo dirgli, e se sei davvero come me, allora domani prima di partire o quando sei pronto per chiudere la portiera del taxi e hai già salutato gli altri e non c'è più nulla da dire in questa vita, allora, una volta soltanto, girati verso di me, anche per scherzo, o perché ci hai ripensato, e, come avevi già fatto allora, guardami negli occhi, trattieni il mio sguardo, e chiamami col tuo nome.”

“We live and breathe words. .... It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt--I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamt. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you.”
