Angela Carter
“Stars on our door, stars in our eyes, stars exploding in the bits of our brains where the common sense should have been”
― Angela Carter, Wise Children

Dino Buzzati
“Ma l'incontro con la Laide gli aveva lasciato uno strano turbamento. Forse anche per il ricordo della tipa incontrata in corso Garibaldi. Come se qualcosa lo avesse toccato dentro. Come se quella ragazza fosse diversa dalle solite. Come se fra loro due dovessero succedere molte altre cose. Come se lui ne fosse uscito differente. Come se Laide incarnasse nel modo più perfetto e intenso il mondo avventuroso e proibito. Come se ci fosse stata una predestinazione. Come quando uno, senza alcun particolare sintomo, ha la sensazione di stare per ammalarsi, ma non sa di che cosa né il motivo. Come quando si ode dabbasso il cigolio del cancello e la casa è immensa, ci abitano centinaia di famiglie e all'ingresso è un continuo andirivieni eppure all'improvviso si sa che ad aprire il cancello è stata una persona la quale viene a cercarci.”
― Dino Buzzati, Un amore

Jeanette Winterson
“I was happy, but happy is an adult word. You don't have to ask a child about happy, you see it. They are or they are not. Adults talk about being happy because largely they are not. Talking about it is the same as trying to catch the wind. Much easier to let it blow all over you. This is where I disagree with the philosophers. They talk about passionate things but there is no passion in them. Never talk happiness with a philosopher.”
― Jeanette Winterson, The Passion

Yevgeny Zamyatin
“Из окна улыбалась, раскинувшись соблазнительно, сладострастно — екатеринских времен книга: «Описательное изображение прекрасностей Санкт-Петербурга». И небрежным движением, с женским лукавством, давал заглянуть внутрь — туда, в теплую ложбинку между двух упруго изогнутых, голубовато-мраморных страниц.”
― Evgeni Zamiatin

Neil Gaiman
“I liked myths. They weren't adult stories and they weren't children's stories. They were better than that. They just were.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane
