Test each sect by its best or its worst as you will, by its high-water mark of virtue or its low-water mark of vice.

“Alla fine, era questo il problema dell'amore. Era così facile romanticizzarlo perché era ovunque. Nella musica e in tv e nelle foto con i filtri di Instagram. Era nell'aria, fonte frizzante di possibilità infinite. Era nelle foglie autunnali, nelle porte di legno fatiscenti, nel ciottolato consumato e nei campi pieni di denti di leone. Era nello sfiorarsi di mani, nelle lettere scritte di getto, delle lenzuola stropicciate e nella luce dorata poco prima del tramonto. Uno sbadiglio soffice, una risata mattiniera, due paia di scarpe allineate accanto alla porta. Uno sguardo dall'altro lato della pista da ballo.
Vedevo tutto questo, tutto il tempo, tutto intorno a me, ma quando mi avvicinavo restavo a mani vuote.
Come un miraggio.”

“Alla fine maggio 1916, la mia brigata – reggimenti 399° e 400° – stava ancora sul Carso. Sin dall’inizio della guerra, essa aveva combattuto solo su quel fronte. Per noi, era ormai diventato insopportabile. Ogni palmo di terra ci ricordava un combattimento o la tomba di un compagno caduto. Non avevamo fatto altro che conquistare trincee, trincee e trincee. Dopo quella dei «gatti rossi», era venuta quella dei «gatti neri», poi quella dei «gatti verdi». Ma la situazione era sempre la stessa. Presa una trincea, bisognava conquistarne un’altra. Trieste era sempre là, di fronte al golfo, alla stessa distanza, stanca. La nostra artiglieria non vi aveva voluto tirare un sol colpo. Il duca d’Aosta, nostro comandante d’armata, la citava ogni volta, negli ordini del giorno e nei discorsi, per animare i combattenti.”
