“Guardo Edith, ormai avanti negli anni: dopo avermi cercato con gli occhi e trovato ai margini di quel giardino solatio, intento a scrivere sul mio solito quaderno rilegato di pelle lista e scolorita, mi scruta da lontano, lasciando affiorare un sorriso che le increspa appena le labbra. È lì e aspetta, come sempre, seduta nella sua poltrona preferita sotto il portico della candida villa in cui viviamo da vent’anni, immersa nel verde e nei fiori.
Vorrei dirle che il problema non è nostro, ma del mondo, che non ama le cose semplici. Il mondo è un caos d’idee complicate che si fanno la guerra fra loro, senza lasciare spazio alla ragionevolezza, e a coloro che si lanciano in fantasticherie idealistiche non offre che buche in cui seppellirle, quando giunge il momento di raccoglierne i pezzi.
Adesso che anche l’ultimo grande sogno è finito, un’altra Grande Guerra è alle porte. Se sarà ancora peggiore della precedente, probabilmente sarà l’ultima.
(...) Sostando in piedi all’ombra del grande albero, Edith fissa un punto lontano, all’orizzonte, appoggiandosi alla staccionata bianca, e continua a fissarlo fin quasi a farsi lacrimare gli occhi.”
― My little lady

“Ricostruire non è mai stato un problema per noi. Chi è rimasto ancorato all’ideale punk degli anni Settanta interpreta ancora il mondo e la vita in termini di demolizione — "distruggi il sistema" e cose del genere. Cose che andavano bene un bel po' di anni fa. Ma i tempi sono cambiati, anche per effetto di quella stessa rivoluzione, e i mezzi di rivolta che erano efficaci allora non hanno più alcun senso in un contesto diverso. Quello che la maggior parte dei ribelli non capisce è che, a forza di distruggere, non è rimasto niente. Per questo, non avendo più niente da abbattere, ci siamo ritrovati a demolire noi stessi.”
