“It’s strange how we feel the need to connect with death. Look at it up close, so we can almost touch it. Like the way we slow down when we see an accident on the road. We pass nearby to try to see as much as possible, even though we know we won’t like what we see. And yet we can’t help it. We can’t look away.”
Riccardo Bruni, The Night of the Moths
“E mentre le lancette si muovono, togliendo secondi alla tua giornata, capisci che tutto quello che ti è rimasto intorno, tutto quanto, ogni volto, ogni oggetto, ogni suono, ogni gesto, ogni odore, persino un alito che puzza di vino di prima mattina, alla fine non è altro che l’ennesimo pezzetto dello stesso ricordo, di quel volto, dei suoi gesti, della sua voce, di tutto il tempo che hai passato con lei.”
Riccardo Bruni, La notte delle falene
“something hits you, and you are in that moment. Everything is suddenly in its rightful place, and you feel like you could stay there forever. And I think even dear old William Blake knew this feeling when he wrote to “Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand / And Eternity in an hour.”
Riccardo Bruni, The Night of the Moths
