“È bene quando una persona contraddice le nostre aspettative, quando è diversa dall'immagine che ce ne siamo fatta. Appartenere a un tipo significa la fine dell'uomo, la sua condanna.

“Non aveva letto neanche una poesia da mesi. Che razza di vita era mai questa? Una vita in cui uno ha troppo da fare perfino per leggere poesie? Non si può neanche chiamare vita.”
