“Ogni continente, ogni terra emersa (così come ogni oceano) è una specie di Arca di Noè che trasporta con sé una miriade di esseri viventi verso un altrove lontano da qualsiasi origine. Con la differenza, però, che non ci sarà mai fine al viaggio, poichè tale movimento non è la conseguenza di un'inondazione o di un evento climatico accidentale.
La condizione dell'essere al mondo è una condizione di migrazione: non un viaggio da un luogo all'altro, ma una forma di moto perpetuo - una deriva.”
― Emanuele Coccia, Metamorfosi

“You'll definitely get something out of your system. Maybe you'll cry, or maybe you'll come. How can a teaspoon or two of bodily build make such a big difference? It makes no sense, I know.

“Anger, like numbness, is another sacred protector of our survival. It is a loving act to protect yourself, a loving at to resist harm, and a loving act to allow yourself the sacred breath of anger.”

“But she accepted the fact as she accepted all the things that happened to her, expecting to be ill-treated, to be made a victim, ultimately to be destroyed, either by unknown forces or by human beings. The fate seemed always to have been waiting for her, even since time began. Only love might have saved her from it. But she had never looked for love. Her part was to suffer; that was known and accepted. Fatality brought resignation. It was no use fighting her fate. She knew she has been beaten before the start.”
