“I may have come close, but I never had what you had. Something always held me back or stood in the way. How you live your life is your business. But remember, our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once. Most of us can't help but live as though we've got two lives to live, one is the mockup, the other the finished version, and then there are all those versions in between. But there's only one, and before you know it, your heart is worn out, and, as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it. Right now there's sorrow. I don't envy the pain. But I envy you the pain.”
― André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

“Scrivere sonetti su Seline o Michelle è facile, tremendamente facile. Basta parlare di quanto sono belle e cercare su un vocabolario di sinonimi un paio di aggettivi che fanno rima tra loro. E' il massimo sforzo richiesto. Ha ragione, nessuno scrive sonetti su Morgan Williams, perché è impossibile farlo. Quattordici righe non basterebbero, su di lei ci si scrivono romanzi.”
― Margherita Fray, Teach me

“Twenty years was yesterday, and yesterday was just earlier this morning, and morning seemed light-years away.”
