“There are two categories of friendship: those in which people enliven one another and those in which people must be enlivened to be with one another. In the first category one clears the decks to be together; in the second one looks for an empty space in the schedule.”

“Por lo que respecta a la educación de los hijos, creo que no hay que enseñarles las pequeñas virtudes, sino en las grandes. No el ahorro, sino la generosidad y la indiferencia hacia el dinero; no la prudencia, sino el coraje y el desprecio por el peligro; no la astucia, sino la franqueza y el amor por la verdad; no la diplomacia, sino el amor al prójimo y la admiración; no el deseo del éxito, sino deseo de ser y de saber.”
― Natalia Ginzburg, The Little Virtues

“Making love with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two separate passions, not merely different but opposite. Love does not make itself felt in the desire for copulation (a desire that extends to an infinite number of women) but in the desire for shared sleep (a desire limited to one woman).”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“El espíritu de superación existe allá donde hay modelos a seguir, o sea, donde hay jerarquía, o sea, donde hay deseo de dominio de uno sobre otro.”

“I would like to pause the story a moment to talk about ‘nothing will change’. I’ve heard it said to me repeatedly by women I love during my twenties when they move in with boyfriends, get engaged, move abroad, get married, get pregnant. ‘Nothing will change.’ It drives me bananas. Everything will change. Everything will change. The love we have for each other stays the same, but the format, the tone, the regularity and the intimacy of our friendship will change for ever.”
― Dolly Alderton, Everything I Know About Love
