“Tu ancora non puoi sapere dove approderai. Ma chi incomincia a cercare ciò che ama finirà sempre per amare ciò che trova. Ti metti in cammino verso Est e magari raggiungi l'Ovest. Non è importante adesso. L'importante è mettersi in cammino. Altrimenti non arriverai da nessuna parte. E passerai il resto della tua vita a disprezzarti per ciò che avresti potuto essere e non sei stato. La meta iniziale del viaggio rappresenta solo lo stimolo per partire”
― Massimo Gramellini, L'ultima riga delle favole

“What am I coming for?" he repeated, looking straight into her eyes. "You know that I have come to be where you are," he said; "I can't help it.”

“And there is enchantment in the very hour I am now spending with you. Who can tell what a dark, dreary, hopeless life I have dragged on for months past? Doing nothing, expecting nothing; merging night in day; feeling but the sensation of cold when I let the fire go out, of hunger when I forgot to eat: and then a ceaseless sorrow, and, at times, a very delirium of desire to behold my Jane again. Yes: for her restoration I longed, far more than for that of my lost sight. How can it be that Jane is with me, and says she loves me? Will she not depart as suddenly as she came? To-morrow, I fear I shall find her no more.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
