Quote by Donato Montesano

“Un falco vola nel cielo bianco dell’estate. Sospeso, con le ali spalancate, immobile. D’un tratto precipita verso terra, a una velocità che l’occhio umano fatica a seguire. Vipere aggrovigliate fuggono dal loro nido. Il rapace le artiglia e torna in cielo, batte le ali e scompare. Tre bambini corrono sul sentiero che dal paese conduce alla spiaggia. Hanno appena distrutto il nido delle vipere rapite. È il loro passatempo preferito. Sfasciare il nido dei serpenti velenosi, col rischio di essere morsi, li eccita. È come sfidare la morte. Ma la morte, per i bambini, è soltanto una parola.”

“I'm Losing Faith in My Favorite Country Throughout my life, the United States has been my favorite country, save and except for Canada, where I was born, raised, educated, and still live for six months each year. As a child growing up in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, I aggressively bought and saved baseball cards of American and National League players, spent hours watching snowy images of American baseball and football games on black and white television and longed for the day when I could travel to that great country. Every Saturday afternoon, me and the boys would pay twelve cents to go the show and watch U.S. made movies, and particularly, the Superman serial. Then I got my chance. My father, who worked for B.F. Goodrich, took my brother and me to watch the Cleveland Indians play baseball in the Mistake on the Lake in Cleveland. At last I had made it to the big time. I thought it was an amazing stadium and it was certainly not a mistake. Amazingly, the Americans thought we were Americans. I loved the United States, and everything about the country: its people, its movies, its comic books, its sports, and a great deal more. The country was alive and growing. No, exploding. It was the golden age of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The American dream was alive and well, but demanded hard work, honesty, and frugality. Everyone understood that. Even the politicians. Then everything changed.”
