“Ma allora cos'è che ti conforta?"
"La certezza della mia libertà interiore" disse lui dopo aver riflettuto "questo bene prezioso, inalterabile, e che dipende sola da me perdere o conservare. la convinzione che le passioni spinte al parossismo come capita come capita ora finiscono poi per placarsi. Che tutto ciò che ha un inizio avrà una fine. In poche parole, che le catastrofi passano e che bisogna cercare di non andarsene prima di loro, ecco tutto. Perciò, prima di tutto vivere: Primum vivere. Giorno per giorno. Resistere, attendere, sperare.”
― Irène Némirovsky

“But I am I. And I won't subordinate my taste to the unanimous judgment of mankind”

“There were days when I didn't exist; he saw through me and walked around me. I was invisible. There were days when I liked not existing. I closed down, stopped thinking, stopped looking...There were days when I couldn't even feel pain. They were the best ones. I could see it happening. There was no ground under me, nothing to fall to. I was able to not care. I could float. I didn't exist”
― Roddy Doyle, The Woman Who Walked Into Doors

“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”
