Quote by Timothée de Fombelle

“La visione del fuoco suscitava sempre la stessa meraviglia. Da dove veniva quella forza capace di sollevare simili drappi d'oro? Quale soffio invisibile, quale braccio agitava quei piccoli stendardi fiammeggianti?”

“Teresa assorbiva gli umori del mondo, le luci e le ombre e le faceva sue. Tanto era il buio entrato in lei, ma in qualche modo, in gran parte, era riuscita a trasformarlo in fuoco, in passione ardente per la vita. L’oscurità era precipitata nei recessi della sua anima e lei aveva imparato a conviverci, a non agitarla come avrebbe fatto con un veleno. Lasciava che si adagiasse sul fondo, però c’era, la sentiva sollevarsi di tanto in tanto come un vapore tossico.”

“C'è qualcosa nell'oscurità, nella quiete di quest'ora, credo, che genera un linguaggio tutto suo. Il buio contiene uno strano tipo di libertà; una spaventosa vulnerabilità che concediamo a noi stessi proprio nel momento sbagliato, perché l'oscurità ci spinge con l'inganno a pensare che serberà i nostri segreti. Dimentichiamo che quell'oscurità non è una coperta; dimentichiamo che presto sorgerà il sole. Ma in quel momento, almeno, ci sentiamo abbastanza coraggiosi da dire cose che non diremmo mai alla luce del giorno.”

“You could not have known he was going to leave Spicy Brunette at the altar for Cute Blondie unless you'd seen this before. I think I've been played," Benny huffs as he finishes off the last fry. "Think about what you're saying, Ben Kenobi. Spicy versus cute. We're never supposed to like the spicy woman in movies, not for the romantic hero to end up with. He's supposed to go with the aw-shucks, girl-next-door type who was right in front of his face all along. Spicy gal never had a chance, bless her heart." He scrunches his nose, mulling this over. "Then I have a dilemma, see," he says, and his feigned thoughtfulness makes me smirk. "Oh, do you?" "Yeah, because what if I'm into this girl who's cute but also spicy? Is she too good to be true? Can I really have one or the other?”

“All boxers are liars. Con men. The better the liar, the better the fighter. That’s because if you knew what was in a fighter’s heart, if you knew what he was really thinking, he’d be easier to find. And if you could find him, he’d be easier to hit. And if you could hit him, you might expose him. And that might expose every person they never stood up to and every person they never stood up for. A single blow can unveil the watermark of your soul in a way nothing else ever can.”

“A 5’5”, 182-pound, 43-year-old man wearing khaki shorts and a UCLA sweatshirt runs to Nicolas Cage in a manner he will spend the rest of the night describing to his slightly bored but equally boring date as “ambushing.” No one else is on the street and Nicolas Cage is unable to avoid the man, who wants a picture with his “brand new Droid.” As the man, who actually seems to be vibrating and hovering in an almost hummingbird-like way, adjusts his stance for the third attempt at a picture his crotch lightly brushes Nicolas Cage’s upper thigh, causing his face to shift from “bemused resignation” to, strangely, “serene bliss,” for what will become the man’s inaugural Facebook profile picture.”
