“Missing someone, they say, is self-centered.
I self-center you more than ever.”
Saša Stanišić, How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone

“I'm against endings. I'm against things being over. Being finished should be stopped! I am Comrade-in-Chief of going on. I support furthermore and etcetera!”
Saša Stanišić, How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone

“If I were a magician who could make things possible, I'd have lemonade always tasting as it did on the evening Francesco explained how right it was for the Italian moon to be a feminine moon. If I were a magician who could make things possible, we'd be able to understand all languages every evening between eight and nine. If I were a magician who could make things possible, all dams would keep their promises. If I were a magician who could make things possible, we'd be really brave.”
