“The primary urge that motivates and engenders writing...is the writer's desire to invent and tell a story, and to know himself. But the more I write, the more I feel the force of the other urge, which collaborates with and completes the first one: the desire to know the Other from within him. To feel what it means to be another person. To be able to touch, if only for a moment, the blaze that burns within another human being.”
David Grossman

“Tamar noticed that she had never met a person she felt so comfortable being silent with.”
David Grossman, Someone to Run With

“Non sai di quante allusioni a te sia pieno il mondo.”
David Grossman, Be My Knife
