“«Io vorrei farti dormire, ma come i personaggi delle favole, che dormono per svegliarsi solo il giorno in cui saranno felici. Ma succederà così anche a te. Un giorno tu ti sveglierai e vedrai una bella giornata. Ci sarà il sole, e tutto sarà nuovo, cambiato, limpido. Quello che prima ti sembrava impossibile diventerà semplice, normale. Non ci credi? Io sono sicuro. E presto. Anche domani.»”
― Fedor Dostoevskij

― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

“Do not read as children do to enjoy themselves, or, as the ambitious do to educate themselves. No, read to live.”
