After witnessing with dread the sudden death of childhood, thinking that the world was going to end anyway, he decided to immolate himself in a career of letters. For years he dwelt among books and behaved with negligent romanticism, until he was forced to reconcile himself with reality. Since then he lives upright on a small, twisted column, when on one foot when on the other, contemplating the world, undemanding. In the cold months he sneezes out a story or two; he has published several books with borrowed names, declaiming to a close copyist who used to be a dancer. Once a year, when the birdsong once again deafens the forest and his voice, he takes an apple from his right pocket and eats it, with some relish. He could never introduce mo ...more

“Tu vida no es lo que recuerdas es también lo que has decidido olvidar”
Fidel S. Buergo, El espejo

“Não sou nada.
Nunca serei nada.
Não posso querer ser nada.
À parte isso, tenho em mim todos os sonhos do mundo.”
Fernando Pessoa, Tabacaria e Outros Poemas

“For in me there have always been two fools, among others, one asking nothing better than to stay where he is and the other imagining that life might be slightly less horrible a little further on.”
Samuel Beckett, Molloy

“I love three things, I then say. I love a dream of love I once had, I love you, and I love this patch of earth.

And which do you love best?

The dream.”
Knut Hamsun, Pan

“Yo siempre digo en broma —y lo he dicho con muchos de ustedes— que esta sociedad no inventaría la literatura si no la hubiera encontrado hecha. No se le hubiera ocurrido a la sociedad capitalista inventar una práctica tan privada, tan improductiva desde el punto de vista social, tan difícil de valorar desde el punto de vista económico. [...] la sociedad no puede entender ese trabajo improductivo, no puede entender algo hecho sin interés económico. El arte sería contrario a esa lógica de la racionalidad capitalista. Y, por lo tanto, la muerte de la literatura sería algo a lo cual esta sociedad aspira. También aspira a que la literatura salga del centro de la discusión, y creo que ha conseguido en parte lograrlo.”
Ricardo Piglia, Crítica y ficción

“Il cavallo trotta allegramente, la giornata è buona, l'aria tepida e leggera, la vita ancora lunga davanti, quasi ancora da cominciare; che bisogno ci sarebbe di dare un'ultima occhiata alle mura, alle casematte, alle sentinelle di turno sul ciglio delle ridotte? Così una pagina lentamente si volta, si distende dalla parte opposta, aggiungendosi alle altre già finite, per ora è solamente uno strato sottile, quelle che rimangono da leggere sono in confronto un mucchio inesauribile. Ma è pur sempre un'altra pagina consumata, signor tenente, una porzione di vita.”
Dino Buzzati, The Tartar Steppe
