Quote by Joris Giovannetti

“Il arrive parfois, dans un ciel absent, que rien ne suffise aux anges pour qu'ils manifestent leur compassion. Or, si nous sommes incapables de les discerner, à cause de la mauvaise qualité de notre vue, nous pourrions au moins nous concentrer sur ceux qui ne portent pas d'ailes et volent au milieu du chaos pour nous porter secours.”

“Tenderness is spontaneous and disinterested; it goes far beyond empathetic fellow feeling. Instead it is the conscious, though perhaps slightly melancholy, common sharing of fate. Tenderness is deep emotional concern about another being, its fragility, its unique nature, and its lack of immunity to suffering and the effects of time. Tenderness perceives the bonds that connect us, the similarities and sameness between us. It is a way of looking that shows the world as being alive, living, interconnected, cooperating with, and codependent on itself. Literature is built on tenderness toward any being other than ourselves. It is the basic psychological mechanism of the novel. Thanks to this miraculous tool, the most sophisticated means of human communication, our experience can travel through time, reaching those who have not yet been born, but who will one day turn to what we have written, the stories we told about ourselves and our world.”
