“You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.”
― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

“Roma è sovrastata da un cielo livido di temporale, che lascia qua e là dei varchi per far passare enormi fasci luminosi creando una luce artificiale che pennella i palazzi di oro sgargiante. Una vecchia baldracca imbellettata, ecco quello che è questa città: una puttana a fine carriera, ancora bellissima se la guardi di sera alla luce fioca delle candele, ma rivoltante se te la trovi di fianco al mattino, senza trucco e senza voglia. Ma proprio per questo si prende il lusso di sbatterti fuori a calci, per piangere da sola davanti allo specchio.

[Emilia Bianchetti, Tramonti d'occidente, p.12]”
― Emilia Bianchetti
