"The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us." [N. Frye]
"Abbiamo tutti dentro un mondo di cose: ciascuno un suo mondo di cose! E come possiamo intenderci, signore, se nelle parole ch'io dico metto il senso e il valore delle cose come sono dentro di me; mentre chi le ascolta, inevitabilmente le assume col senso e col valore che hanno per sé, del mondo com'egli l'ha dentro? Crediamo di intenderci; non ci intendiamo mai!" [Luigi Pirandello]
Vassene il tempo e l'uom non se ne avvede.[Dante Alighieri]
È nella natura del desiderio di non poter essere soddisfatto.[Aristotele]
L'homme est une création du désir, non pas une création du besoin.
[Gaston Bachelard]
Ceux qui écrivent comme ils parlent, quoiqu'ils parlent très bien, écrivent mal.[Georges-Louis Leclerc, comte de Buffon]
Le hasard est le plus grand romancier du monde; pour être fécond, il n'y a qu'à l'étudier.[Honoré De Balzac]
Pour savoir jusqu'où va la cruauté de ces charmants êtres que nos passions grandissent tant, il faut voir les femmes entre elles.[Honoré De Balzac]
If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing.[Sir Kingsley Amis]
A conference is a gathering of important people who singly can do nothing, but together can decide that nothing can be done.[Fred Allen]
