“Society really is going straight to hell now that we're rewarding criminals. You should be ashamed of yourself." I don't miss Joelle's eye roll, the way her chest heaves as she inhales and pivots back to the woman. "Actually, I think this is a sign of a good society, helping people who need it. And the only person here who should be ashamed is you. I make the best damn matcha latte in all of Portland and you didn't like it. That means your taste buds are crap." The start of a chuckle falls from my lips before I clear my throat. "And on top of that, you went out of your way to make a kid cry. Pretty damn shameful all around." The lady's jaw plummets all the way to the floor at what Joelle said. "That's it. I'm out of here." "Thank god," Joelle mutters. I hold back a laugh.”

“Half a century ago Ostwald (1910) distinguished classicists and romanticists among the scientific investigators: the former being inclined to design schemes and to use consistently the deductions from working hypotheses; the latter being more fit for intuitive discoveries of functional relations between phenomena and therefore more able to open up new fields of study. Examples of both character types are Werner and Hutton. Werner was a real classicist. At the end of the eighteenth century he postulated the theory of “neptunism,” according to which all rocks including granites, were deposited in primeval seas. It was an artificial scheme, but, as a classification system, it worked quite satisfactorily at the time. Hutton, his contemporary and opponent, was more a romanticist. His concept of 'plutonism' supposed continually recurrent circuits of matter, which like gigantic paddle wheels raise material from various depths of the earth and carry it off again. This is a very flexible system which opens the mind to accept the possible occurrence in the course of time of a great variety of interrelated plutonic and tectonic processes.”

“Oggi, in questo mondo sovraffollato, non credo ci resti, per viaggiare davvero, altra direzione che l'Aurora. Non so perché ci ostiniamo a chiamarla Est. È un doppio inganno. Quel monosillabo assembla cose diversissime e incompatibili: il Centro Europa, i Balcani, l'impero russo, l'arcipelago dei mondi musulmani dalla Turchia in poi. E poi quella parola secca è un marchio, un timbro extracomunitario che respinge, notifica i nostri vuoti mentali, i nostri pregiudizi. È una sbarra che chiude la strada, non una porta che si apre su altri mondi. Per questo preferisco chiamarla Oriente.”

“Una sera, sui monti della Bulgaria, con Venere che brillava in un cielo umido color malva, mi è capitato di pensare che solo il nomade vive in pace col sole e le sorgenti, dunque capisce Dio, l'Essenza. Oppure che Cristianesimo, Ebraismo e Islam sono monoteismi nati dalla purezza dello stesso spazio nomade, il vicino Oriente appunto. E che tutti rischiano finire rivinati proprio dai sedentari, dalle loro gerarchie totalitarie, i loro muri, le loro ossessive compartimentazioni dello spazio e quelle stupide torri di Babele.”
