Quote by Goliarda Sapienza

“Può tanta nostalgia assalirti alle spalle anche se non si vuole più bene come prima? Non avendo altro da fare, mi misi a cercare di capire cos'era quella nostalgia. Altro che pentirmi, dovevo studiare me stessa e gli altri come si studia la grammatica, la musica, e smetterla di abbandonarmi alle emozioni, che bella parola, emozioni!”

“At a table, in a public library, on a winter Saturday, and yet I felt as if I'd arrived home. That house in North Bennington, another winter ten years earlier, and I as young as a girl could be and yet as old as any other Mother Earth, and I had learned what it was to love. How to be loved and how to provide love, and how to be of service as a gesture to the gods. Had I known how fast it would all go, how little it would amount to, would I have lived each day more consciously? Ah, me. I don't have the faintest idea.”

“The Swan passed on slowly to the hythe, and they turned their boats and followed it. There in the last end of Egladil upon the green grass the parting feast was held; but Frodo ate and drank little, heeding only the beauty of the Lady and her voice. She seemed no longer perilous or terrible, nor filled with hidden power. Already she seemed to him, as by men of later days Elves still at times are seen: present and yet remote, a living vision of that which has already been left far behind by the flowing streams of Time.”
