“Ero già prontissimo a etichettare Oliver come difficile e inavvicinabile, e a non avere più nulla a che spartire con lui. Ma due parole bastarono perché la mia imbronciata apatia si trasformasse in: Suonerò qualunque cosa per te finché non mi dirai di smettere, finché non sarà ora di pranzo, finché non mi verrà via la pelle dai polpastrelli, strato dopo strato, perché mi piace fare qualcosa per te, farò tutto quello che vorrai, devi soltanto dirmelo, mi sei piaciuto dal primo giorno e, perfino quando riceverò gelo in cambio delle mie rinnovate offerte d'amicizia, non dimenticherò mai che ci siamo detti queste cose e che non è poi così difficile ritrovare l'estate dopo una tormenta di neve.”

“È inciso in ogni canzone che spopolava allora, in ogni romanzo che ho letto durante e dopo il suo soggiorno, in ogni cosa, dal profumo del rosmarino nelle giornate calde al frinire concitato delle cicale di pomeriggio: odori e suoni, in mezzo ai quali ero cresciuto e con cui fino ad allora avevo convissuto ogni anno della mia vita ma che poi d'un tratto riscoprivo eccitanti, arricchiti di una sfumatura particolare, per sempre colorata da ciò che accadde quell'estate.”

“A handsome young knight is madly in love with a princess, and she too is in love with him, though she seems not to be entirely aware of it. Despite the friendship that blossoms between them, or perhaps because of that very friendship, the young knight finds himself so humbled and speechless that he is totally unable to bring up the subject of his love. Until one day he asks the princess point-blank: Is it better to speak or to die?”

“For over twenty-five centuries we’ve been bearing the weight of superb and heterogeneous civilizations, all from outside, none made by ourselves, none that we could call our own. This violence of landscape, this cruelty of climate, this continual tension in everything, and even these monuments of the past, magnificent yet incomprehensible because not built by us and yet standing round us like lovely mute ghosts; all those rulers who landed by main force from every direction who were at once obeyed, soon detested, and always misunderstood, their only expressions works of art we couldn't understand and taxes which we understood only too well and which they spent elsewhere: all these things have formed our character, which is thus conditioned by events outside our control as well as by a terrifying insularity of mind.”
