Umberto Eco
“... we read novels because they give us the comfortable sensation of living in worlds where the notion of truth is indisputable, while the actual world seems to be a more treacherous place.”
Umberto Eco, Six Walks in the Fictional Woods

Nora Ephron
“I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”
Nora Ephron, When Harry Met Sally

Luigi Pirandello
“trovarsi davanti
a un pazzo sapete che significa? trovarsi davanti a uno
che vi scrolla dalle fondamenta tutto quanto avete costruito
in voi, attorno a voi, la logica, la logica di tutte le
vostre costruzioni!”
Luigi Pirandello, Henry IV

Tiziano Scarpa
“Quando raccolgo le mie ginocchia, a letto, divento la versione adulta del mio
feto. Quando distendo le mie ginocchia, a letto, divento la versione giovane del mio
cadavere.”
Tiziano Scarpa, Corpo

Jeanette Winterson
“You had once asked me if I was afraid of death.

I said I was afraid of not living.

I don’t want to eke out my life like a resource in short supply. The only selfish life is a timid one. To hold back, to withdraw, to keep the best in reserve, both overvalues the self, and undervalues what the self is.”
Jeanette Winterson, The PowerBook
