Book cover for Il tempo di tornare a casa
Vivere, in fondo, non è che una serie di storie che si chiudono e si aprono, un continuo stringere la presa e lasciar andare. Una catena infinita di incontri e addii.

Franz Kafka
“How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense",”
Franz Kafka, Metamorphosis

“Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are all noble pursuits, and
necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.”
Dead Poet’s Society

Eric Berne
“A loser doesn’t know what he’ll do if he loses but talks about what he’ll do if he wins and a winner doesn’t talk about what he’ll do if he wins but knows what he’ll do if he loses.”
Eric Berne

Thomas Mann
“Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.”
Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Tales

“We do not think that taxation is the solution to rent-seeking; the right way to stop thieves is to stop them from stealing, not to raise their taxes.”
Anne Case, Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism
