Quote by Domenico Starnone

“I have enormous affection that grows rather than diminishes with time, for the I that I painfully cose from the many, my I. How we love—all of us—our chatty little imp. The toil begins when we toss him into the world so that he’s loved as much as we love him. An impossible thing. Disappointment follows the toil.”

“الشعور الاسوء هو التجاهل ، ان لا ترتف عينك و لا يجفل قلبك لاي شيء لا خوف ولا سعادة مجرد تجاهل تام كأنه غير موجود واعني هنا خصمك او ندك، تجاهله فقط اني افضل الشتائم على التجاهل ففي حالة الشتيمة بامكانك الرد او الترفع لكن ان تتجاهل شخص بعينه فهذا هو الاحتقار كالفرس التي لا تكترث للنمل التي تدهسه ان لا تهتم لشيء مهما خذلك الاخر هنا مرحلة فقد الشعور التام و الانفصال عن العالم”

“At the present moment, here he was in Greece, and one of the dreams of his life was realized. Forty years ago he had caught the fever of Hellenism, and all his life he had felt that could he but visit that land, he would not have lived in vain. But Athens had been dusty, Delphi wet, Thermopylae flat, and he had listened with amazement and cynicism to the rapturous exclamations of his companions. Greece was like England: it was a man who was growing old, and it made no difference whether that man looked at the Thames or the Eurotas. It was his last hope of contradicting that logic of experience, and it was failing.”
