“Sometimes we ordinary mortals are fated to experience passions that push the heart to its extreme limits, passions that not even the gods can experience . . . because the gods do not know what it means to love another to the point of distraction, to desire life so strongly it becomes your undoing.”

“There is no return from the extreme confines of our world, of our mind. And when a man has understood this, he is gripped by a kind of dizziness that makes him feel similar to the gods, both those of the heavens and those of the Underworld. Accompanied, unhappily, by an infinite melancholy. What sailors feel when they are leaving the land they love, where they were born, where their wives and their children are, because they know in their heart of hearts that they will never be able to return.”
