“Mi ritroverò accerchiato da persone che si chiedono a vicenda perché me ne stia in un angolo senza rivolgere parola a nessuno. Io mi sto divertendo ad ascoltare musica, anche se non è la stessa che sento quando sono solo; non è male stare accanto a persone nuove, è solo stancante. Ma il mio viso non si piega per dimostrarlo e le persone non mi credono quando dico la verità.”

“- Hoje, em circunstâncias iguais, não me tremeria a voz para dar a mesma ordem, nem os europeus teriam autoridade moral para me censurar, pois se há uma história regada de sangue, de indignidade, de injustiças, é a história da Europa. (...) Então nos façam o favor de não nos dizer mais o que devemos fazer. Não tentem nos ensinar como devemos ser, não tentem nos tornar iguais a vocês, não pretendam que façamos bem em vinte anos o que vocês fizeram tão mal em dois mil.”

“When I was a child I had a fishless aquarium. My father set it up for me with gravel and plants and pebbles before he'd got the fish and I asked him to leave it as it was for a while. The pump kept up a charming burble, the green-gold light was wondrous when the room was dark. I put in a china mermaid and a tin horseman who maintained a relationship like that of the figures on Keat's Grecian urn except that the horseman grew rusty. Eventually fish were pressed upon me and they seemed an intrusion, I gave them to a friend. All that aquarium wanted was the sound of the pump, the gently waving plants, the mysterious pebbles and the silent horseman forever galloping to the mermaid smiling in the green-gold light. I used to sit and look at them for hours. The mermaid and the horseman were from my father. I have them in a box somewhere here, I'm not yet ready to take them out and look at them again.”
