“Si deve incominciare a perdere la memoria, anche solo brandelli di ricordi, per capire che in essa consiste la nostra vita. Senza memoria, la vita non è vita. La nostra memoria è la nostra coerenza, la nostra ragione, il nostro sentimento, persino il nostro agire. Senza di essa non siamo nulla.”

“A flaw of humanity,” said Parisa, shrugging. “The compulsion to be unique, which is at war with the desire to belong to a single identifiable sameness.”

“The notion of my future suddenly snapped into focus: it didn't exist yet. I was making it, standing there, breathing, fixing the air around my body with stillness, trying to capture something—a thought, I guess—as though such a thing were possible, as though I believed in the delusion described in those paintings—that time could be contained, held captive.”

“Che problema c’è a cadere?
Puoi sempre rialzarti.
Quando cadi, solleva gli occhi al cielo.
Anche oggi si stende sopra di te, azzurro e sconfinato.
Riesci a vederne il sorriso?
Sei vivo.”
― 1 Litre of Tears

“And the terrible thing, the terrible thing is, but the good thing too, the saving grace, is that if something happened to one of us--excuse me for saying this--but if something happened to one of us tomorrow, I think the other one, the other person, would grieve for a while, you know, but then the surviving party would go out and love again, have someone else soon enough. All this, all of this love we're talking about, it would just be a memory. Maybe not even a memory.Am I wrong? Am I way off base? Because I want you to set me straight if you think I'm wrong. I want to know. I mean, I don't know anything, and I'm the first one to admit it.”
