Fabrizio Acanfora
“E si rimane per sempre quello che, a un dato momento, si è deciso che dovevi essere. Non c'è rielaborazione possibile: le persone devono essere ben catalogate, marchiate a vita.
Almeno, però, fatemi un favore: non venitemi a dire che non è possibile; perché il dolore, la solitudine, la difficoltà nel sentirmi diverso da voi, li ho portati dentro da solo, quasi sempre in silenzio. La fatica di sembrare normale in modo che voi poteste stare tranquilli, l'ho fatta da solo.
Adesso sono stanco, mi sono reso conto che non c'è bisogno di vergognarsi, nel sentirsi diverso. Ora ho deciso che io, tutto sommato, a questa normalità che distrugge il pianeta in cui vive, che odia chiunque manifesti delle differenze; a questa normalità che tenta di annientare il pensiero critico e aspira a una beata mediocrità, non voglio più assomigliarci.”
Fabrizio Acanfora, Eccentrico: Autismo e Asperger in un saggio autobiografico

Zaman Ali
“Books have the power to create, destroy or change civilizations.”
Zaman Ali, HUMANITY Understanding Reality and Inquiring Good

Mia Couto
“Listen, and you will realize that we are made not from cells or from atoms. We are made from stories.”
Mia Couto

Naja Marie Aidt
“But you were also withdrawn, remote, shy. But you were also full of joy. But you were also sensitive, perceptive. But you were also strong. But you were also enquiring. But you were also deeply rooted.”
Naja Marie Aidt, When Death Takes Something From You Give It Back

“I am not so weak as to submit to the demands of the age when they go against my convictions. I spin a cocoon around myself; let others do the same. I shall leave it to time to show what will come of it: a brilliant butterfly or a maggot.”
William Vaughan, Friedrich
