“All Mattia saw was a shadow moving toward him. He instinctively closed his eyes and then felt Alice’s hot mouth on his, her tears on his cheek, or maybe they weren’t hers, and finally her hands, so light, holding his head still and catching all his thoughts and imprisoning them there, in the space that no longer existed between them.” StillsHandsLightEyeMovingFeltSpaceSawsTearsMouthsShadowHotHis EyesCheeksCatching Author:Paolo Giordano
“They lived the slow and invisible interpenetration of their universes, like two stars gravitating around a common axis, in ever tighter orbits, whose clear destiny is to coalesce at some point in space and time.” TwoUniverseStarsSpaceCommonDestinyClearInvisibleTime And SpaceOrbitAxes Author:Paolo Giordano
“Twin primes: pairs of prime numbers that are close to each other, almost neighbors, but between them there is always an even number that prevents them from truly touching. If you go on counting, you discover that these pairs gradually become rarer, lost in that silent, measured space made only of ciphers. You develop a distressing presentiment that the pairs encountered up until that point were accidental, that solitude is the true destiny. Then, just when you’re about to surrender, you come across another pair of twins, clutching each other tightly.” IfsMadeLostSpaceNumbersDestinyGoes OnSolitudeSilentNeighborSurrenderPairsPrimeTouchingTwinsCountingDistressingCiphersPrime Numbers Author:Paolo Giordano
