“è stato davvero un colpo di genio misurare il dolore per gradi, attribuirgli un limite e una categoria. C'è chi sostiene che il dolore sia interminabile e non si esaurisca mai, eppure io credo che dopo il decimo grado della mia scala non resti altro che la memoria delle cose, che ferisce ormai solo nel ricordo.”
