“Freedom here has nothing to do with political liberty, or a notion of rights, or the license to say whatever he wished, or the ability to go wherever he chose. It's rather the experience of withdrawing inwardly from the press of the wold, in which he himself was so ambitiously engaged. And in sphering himself in a space apart. For Poggio that experience was what it meant to immerse himself in ancient book. "I am free for reading.”

“The tulips are usually in flower in March, a carnival of orange, saffron, rust and purple-black. Once they have gone over, as we gardeners say, their petals brown and frail like antique satin, the bulbs will be lifted and replaced with fully grown foxgloves, whose faded notes of lilac, pink and speckled cream will stand tall till it is time for the dahlias to go in.”

“Το Μακόντο ήταν τότε ένα χωριό με είκοσι σπίτια από πηλό και καλάμια, χτισμένα στην όχθη ενός ποταμού με διάφανα νερά, που κυλούσαν σε μια κοίτη με λείες πέτρες, άσπρες και τεράστιες, σαν προϊστορικά αβγά. Ο κόσμος ήταν τόσο νεόπλαστος, ώστε πολλά πράγματα δεν είχαν όνομα και για να τα αναφέρεις έπρεπε να τα δείξεις με το δάχτυλο.”
