Kōbō Abe
“Sand, which didn't even have a form of it's own. Yet, not a single thing could stand against this shapeless, destructive power. The very fact that it had no form was doubtless the highest manifestation of its strenght, was it not?”
Kōbō Abe, The Woman in the Dunes

Kōbō Abe
“-Well, what happens with the River of Hades in the end?
-Not a thing. It's an infernal punishment precisely because nothing happens.”
Kōbō Abe, The Woman in the Dunes

Aldo Nove
“Il cielo mi appariva viola, con una strana nota di gravità a dominarlo: il cielo, quel cielo, mi sembrava premesse con una forza inaudita sulla città, era livido e pesante, come se non ce la facesse più a stare là sopra e da un momento all'altro dovesse cedere. E poi lo schianto a terra delle stelle e della luna, corpi celesti infiniti tra le automobili parcheggiate in strada. Quel cielo era il mio cuore che aveva ripreso a battere all'impazzata.”
Aldo Nove, La vita oscena

Kōbō Abe
“Rarely will you meet anyone so jealous a a teacher. Year after year students tumble along like the waters of a river. They flow away, and only the teacher is left behind, like some deeply buried rock at the bottom of the current. Although he may tell others of his hopes, he doesn't dream of them himself. He thinks of himself as worthless and either falls into masochistic loneliness, or, failing that, ultimately becomes suspicious and pious, forever denouncing the eccentricities of others.”
Kōbō Abe, The Woman in the Dunes

Pier Vittorio Tondelli
“Il senso del possesso che lui osserva nelle altre solitudini gli appare esagerato. In alcuni diventa vera e propria tirchieria, in altri essenzialità, in altri ancora frugalità o nevrosi di ordine, pulizia, attenzione maniacale per la disposizione abituale delle cose e dei sentimenti. Come se la solitudine, quella accettata e rielaborata, avesse costruito, nel cuore dell'individuo, un atlante di percorsi sbarrati, di strade senza uscita, di sensi unici, di dighe, di barriere antisismiche in modo che qualsiasi sentimento o oggetto nuovo abbia un percorso prestabilito, all'interno, per vagare senza arrecare danno.”
Pier Vittorio Tondelli, Camere separate
