Quote by Pierenrico Gottero

“Desire,” he replied firmly. “Their abundance, that ‘everything right now’ which they got without any effort, had killed their sense of longing. All that luxury had made them numb. They had no idea what it meant to dream of something unattainable, to feel that hunger for achieving something that seemed so far away. They never had to fight for anything, and that made them weak—unable to adapt or respond.”

“I say from time to time, if you want to know about someone else’s desires, you should have them pack a suitcase. Or take a peek into their suitcase. Someone who packs his bag with all kinds of stuff ends up suffering from just that much fatigue and stress, even while traveling. The weight of the bag alone will guarantee that. The trip, intended as a way to unburden yourself, suddenly becomes a burden in itself. People who care about what other people think of them, like my sister, can never go on a trip.”

“Ese amor, que explota de la nada como una supernova, no existe. Solo es un pensamiento idealizado, que solemos confundir con otra reacción química igual de arrolladora: la atracción. Ese algo que te hace mirar los labios de un desconocido y que los tuyos se entreabran por puro reflejo. Que tu piel se erice allí donde sus ojos se posan. Ese estremecimiento tan íntimo que te hace contraer los músculos y aguantar la respiración. Esa mirada que, de repente, te hace sentir. Cosas buenas. Agradables. A veces desconocidas. Ese aroma único y personal que provoca una liberación descontrolada de endorfinas que invaden tu sangre como una droga y crean una dependencia inmediata. Y te descubres necesitando otra dosis. En forma de sonrisa. De mirada. De un olor que se te pega en la lengua y que paladeas mucho tiempo después. Y la atracción se transforma en deseo. Del que duele y no se calma.”
