“Come hither, all ye empty things,
Ye bubbles rais'd by breath of Kings;
Who float upon the tide of state,
Come hither, and behold your fate.

How very mean a thing's a Duke;
From all his ill-got honours flung,
Turn'd to that dirt from whence he sprung.”

“COME HOME, TENAR! COME HOME!”
In the deep valley, in the twilight, the apple trees were on the eve of blossoming; here and there among the shadowed boughs one flower had opened early, rose and white, like a faint star. Down the orchard aisles, in the thick, new, wet grass, the little girl ran for the joy of running; hearing the call she did not come at once, but made a long circle before she turned her face toward home. The mother waiting in the doorway of the hut, with the firelight behind her, watched the tiny figure running and bobbing like a bit of thistledown blown over the darkening grass beneath the trees.”

“Come, I'll take you to San Giacomo before you change your mind,' I finally said. 'There is still time before lunch. Remember the way?'
'I remember the way.'
'You remember the way,' I echoed.
He looked at me and smiled. It cheered me. Perhaps because I knew he was taunting me.
Twenty years was yesterday, and yesterday was just earlier this morning, and morning seemed light-years away.
'I'm like you,' he said. 'I remember everything.'
I stopped for a second. If you remember everything, I wanted to say, and if you are really like me, then before you leave tomorrow, or when you're just ready to shut the door of the taxi and have already said goodbye to everyone else and there's not a thing left to say in this life, then, just this once, turn to me, even in jest, or as an afterthought, which would have meant everything to me when we were together, and, as you did back then, look me in the face, hold my gaze, and call me by your name.”

“Come il paesaggio, in quell’angolo di mondo, l’opera umana non temeva confronti. Non poteva, di fatto, essere confrontata con alcunché. E neppure erano le migliaia di anni, tempo che continuava a suonarle inconcepibile, che le toglievano il respiro. Era la Bellezza. La Bellezza di ciò che supera l’uomo e la sua umana essenza. La Bellezza di ciò che resta, che sopravanza il misero tempo di una vita affacciandosi all’eternità, che ne celebra il senso e lo scopo. La Bellezza dell’imperfezione, della perfezione perduta, anzi. La colonna spezzata quasi più dolorosamente bella di quella intatta, come il braccio caduto ai piedi della statua di donna con la testa di leonessa e gli occhi remoti e saggi.”

“Come incominciare? Dobbiamo essere sfrontate e avide. Inseguire il piacere. Evitare il dolore. Indossare, toccare, mangiare e bere quello che ci fa piacere. Tollerare le scelte delle altre donne. Ricercare il sesso che vogliamo e combattere furiosamente contro quello che non vogliamo. Scegliere le nostre cause. E quando avremo infranto e cambiato le regole in modo che non venga scosso il nostro senso della nostra bellezza, canteremo questa bellezza, la sventoleremo e ci crogioleremo in essa: secondo una politica sensuale, donna é bello.
[...] La prossima fase del nostro movimento in avanti come donne singole, come donne unite e come abitanti del nostro corpo e di questo pianeta, dipende da quello che decideremo di vedere quando ci guarderemo allo specchio.”

“Come inside," he had whispered. I was trembling, on the edge of tears. And why was that? So glad to see him, touch him, ah, damn him! We entered the room, the press of his hand against my back oddly comforting. Ah, yes, this intimacy, because that's what it is, isn't it? You, my secret... Secret lover. Then the realization came to me as we stood together. He's going to kill me after all. He won't do it yet, but he's going to kill me. The dance will end like this. "But how could you not know such a thing?" He asked, reading my thoughts. "I love you, if I hadn't grown to love you, I would have killed you before now.”
