“Of course I'm ignorant, that remains true at all events and is extremely distressing for me, but it does have the advantage that the ignorant man dares more, so I shall gladly put up with ignorance and its undoubtedly dire consequences for a while, as long as my strength lasts.”

“I think it was probably both the coincidence and the beer that made Miralles say at some point that we were going to end up the same, defeated and alone and
punch-drunk in a dead-end city, pissing blood before going into the ring to fight to the death against our own shadows in an empty stadium.”

“Nobody remembers them, you know ? Nobody. Nobody remebers why they died, why they didnt have a wife and children
and a sun lit room either, nobody, least of all people for whom they fought. There is no and there never will be some pathetic street
in one pathetic village of a shitty country that is named after any of them."
Miralles stopped talking, he took out his handkerchief, wiped the tears, blew his nose, he did so without shame, as if he was not ashamed of crying in public,
as Homers warriors of old did it, as any soldier of Salamis would do.”

“Sapevamo che se la comprensione del testo è una dura e solitaria conquista della mente, la frase scema stabilisce invece una connivenza riposante che può esistere solo tra amici intimi. Soltanto con gli amici più stretti ci raccontiamo le storielle più stupide, come per rendere un implicito omaggio alla loro raffinatezza intellettuale. Con gli altri facciamo i brillanti, sfoggiamo il nostro sapere, ce la tiriamo, seduciamo.”
