Paul Auster
“Nessuna delle due era mai stata con una donna, eppure eccoci qua, disse Sidney, una docente universitaria e una maestra di terza elementare, una donna di oltre quarant'anni e un'altra di venticinque e passa, un'ebrea di New York e una metodista di Sandusky, Ohio, travolte dal più grande amore della loro vita. L'assurdo, continuo Sydney, era che non aveva mai considerato le donne, era sempre andata matta per i maschi e anche adesso che conviveva con una donna da quasi tre anni non si considerava una lesbica, era semplicemente una persona innamorata di un'altra persona, e siccome l'altra persona era bella e fascinosa e unica al mondo, cosa cambiava se era innamorata di un uomo o di una donna?”
Paul Auster

Paul Auster
“The inventory of your scars, in particular the ones on your face, which are visible to you each morning when you look into the bathroom mirror to shave or comb you hair. You seldom think about them, but whenever you do, you understand that they are marks of life, that the assorted jagged lines etched into the skin of your face are letters from the secret alphabet that tells the story of who you are, for each scar is the trace of a healed wound, and each wound was caused by an unexpected collision with the world – that is to say, an accident, or something that need not have happened, since by definition an accident is something that need not to happen.”
Paul Auster, Winter Journal
