Dante Alighieri
“For the place where I was put to live
is stripped of good more and more each day
and seems disposed to perdition.”
Dante Alighieri, The Purgatorio

Nelson Algren
“Return along old walks where thrusts of grass by force of love have split the measure stone.”
Nelson Algren, Chicago: City on the Make

Mircea Cărtărescu
“We are like people drawn inside of a square on a piece of paper. We cannot get out of the black lines, we exhaust ourselves by examining every part of the square, hoping to find a fissure. Until one of us suddenly understands, because he was predestined to understand, that within the plane of the paper escape is impossible. That the exit, simple and open wide, is perpendicular to the paper, in a third dimension that up until that moment was inconceivable.”
Mircea Cărtărescu, Solenoid

Dante Alighieri
“No one listens, for pride, envy, and avarice
are three sparks that kindle in men's hearts
and sets them burning.”
Dante Alighieri, The Inferno

Mircea Cărtărescu
“In fact, prayer and certainty are the same thing; both mean the power to truly see into the future, the true future, not the image of the eternal return of the past: no one prays for the sun to come up tomorrow. Through belief, we see the future and already inhabit it.”
Mircea Cărtărescu, Solenoid
