“The brain appears to possess a special area which we might call poetic memory and which records everything that charms or touches us, that makes our lives beautiful ... Love begins with a metaphor. Which is to say, love begins at the point when a woman enters her first word into our poetic memory.”

“People leave strange little memories of themselves behind when they die.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“Un romanzo o una poesia non è un monologo, bensì una conversazione tra uno scrittore e un lettore: una conversazione, ripeto, del tutto privata, che esclude tutti gli altri – un atto, se si vuole, di reciproca misantropia.”
― Joseph Brodsky, Dall'esilio
