“J'avance dans une cité dissoute en traînées rousses et ocre, en lambeaux éclatants, comme je saisirais un paysage depuis un train lancé à grande vitesse, d'où les formes s'enlacent, s'étalent et se confondent. Les immeubles coulent sur ciel, tantôt en chutes sombres d'un gris de béton, tantôt en éruptions incandescentes lorsque le soleil du soir, à l'heure où je quitte la chambre, tend dans les rues une toile de lumière rase et les rues elles-mêmes commencent de se mouvoir pour mieux me perdre et me confondre.”
― Jean-Baptiste Del Amo, Pornographia

“Max si sentiva pieno di una specie di malinconia, incapace di vivere quell'istante senza essere consapevole del fatto che già fuggiva, che sarebbe presto finito, che già non esisteva più, cosa che gli dava una sensazione di irrealtà.”
