“Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel - anything you read - all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.”

“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.

“All writing slants the way a writer leans, and no man is born perpendicular, although many men are born upright.“ – Happy Birthday to the great New Yorker, E. B. White, born July 11, 1899.

“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.”
