“Un genitore normale non pensa che il mostro sotto al letto sia vero. Ma loro non erano una famiglia normale. Non avevano il lusso dell’ignoranza.”

“[...] e fu allora che Elena notò il tatuaggio sul collo: sotto l’orecchio appariva un cerchio diviso in quattro parti da due linee incrociate. Ogni quarto era riempito da righe che formavano un diverso motivo, a volte più strette, altre più larghe, ondulate o riempite da puntini. Una pintadera, il timbro con cui fin dall’età nuragica si usava marchiare il pane per portarlo al forno comune o colorarsi il corpo, per segnare l’appartenenza a una precisa famiglia. Il simbolo, diverso per ogni casa, era sopravvissuto tra i cacciatori per riconoscersi tra loro come facenti parte di un’unica gilda, pur facendo parte di ceppi differenti.”

“Nel mentre, Aurora cominciò a recitare un brebu, una preghiera – o forse sarebbe stato più corretto chiamarlo incantesimo – in sardo, le cui origini risalivano a ben prima dell’arrivo del cristianesimo, quando i popoli veneravano la terra e il cielo sotto il nome di una sola Dea, la Madre. I brebus potevano avere molti fini, ma questo era cantato affinché lo spirito trovasse pace.”

“Το Καρναβάλι εισέβαλλε πανηγυρικά και μέσα στα σπίτια - άλλαζαν οι παλμοί της καρδιάς όταν άκουγες τα κουδούνια να ξηλώνουν τις σκάλες και να 'ρχονται κατά πάνω σου - και φτάνοντας στη γωνιά όπου καθόταν το γεροντότερο και γι' αυτό σεβαστότερο πρόσωπο της οικογένειας, του έδινε με χειροφίλημα ένα απ' τα πορτοκάλια του ζητώντας να συγχωρεθούν τα αμαρτήματα' ή με την γενικότερη και μονολεκτική έκφραση "συγχωρεμένα". Στην συνέχεια απ' την χαρά του θαρρείς γι' αυτό που ζήτησε και πήρε, αλλά και γι 'αυτό που πρόσφερε, έφερνε τους πανηγυρικότερους κύκλους μες στο δωμάτιο κινώντας μπρος-πίσω το σώμα του, απανωτά, με πολλή δύναμη, έτσι που το μπατάλι να ζει τις ενδοξότερες στιγμές του φτάνοντας ως ψηλά στην πλάτη, ξαναπέφτοντας στα χαμηλά και ξαναγγίζοντας τα ύψη... Για να μην ξεχνάμε κιόλας πώς όλα αυτά λειτουργούσαν και ως πρόφαση, ευγενής πρόφαση, προκειμένου να φάνε κι οι άνθρωποι τότε ένα πορτοκάλι!...”

“Младите днес залитат по чуждото, защото не познават историята си. Самият аз пишех експериментално и отвлечено, докато не открих чудния свят на българския фолклор и славно минало.”

“The cultured court singer of heroic lays disappears along with the heroic spirit of his public, but heroic poetry survives the heroic age and is more long-lived than the society to which it owes its origin. After the decline of the military aristocratic culture, it turns from an exclusive class interest into a universal art. The fact that this declension was so easily brought about, and that the same kind of poetry could be understood and enjoyed by the upper and lower classes almost simultaneously, can only be explained by assuming that the difference in cultural standards between the rulers and the ruled cannot have been anything like so great as in later ages. It is true that from the very beginning the rulers lived in a different sphere from the people, but they were not yet so conscious of the gulf that divided them from the lower classes.”
