“Every time I bite my tongue,' Mr Palomar concludes mentally, 'I must think not only of what I am about to say or not say, but also of everything that, whether I say it or do not say it, will be said or not said by me or by others.' Having formulated this thought, he bites his tongue and remains silent.” — Italo Calvino
