Ashley Flowers
“Some cases have a stubborn truth no matter how hard we want it.”
Ashley Flowers

Nicola Lagioia
“Distruggere il più debole. Oppure indebolire il più forte per poi distruggerlo. L'aggressione come garanzia per la sopravvivenza. Colpire per sottrarsi alla paura di essere colpiti. Sentirsi impotenti, ridurre l'altro all'impotenza. Sentirsi in pericolo, portare l'altro in pericolo. Sentirsi nulla, ridurre l'altro al nulla.”
Nicola Lagioia, La città dei vivi
