“The things that the novel does not say are necessarily more numerous than those it does say and only a special halo around what is written can give the illusion that you are reading also what is not written.”
― Italo Calvino

“Falsehood is never in words; it is in things.”
― Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

“We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.”

― Italo Calvino, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler
