“Invecchiamo sotto gli occhi di tutti, pensò, ma siamo sempre gli ultimi a saperlo.
da "Ogni nostra caduta", 2017”
“Invecchieremo negli anni, per la vita burrascosa,
e ci arresteremo dinanzi al desiderio;
ciò non vuol dire che saremo
- Dio ci salvi! - non ostenteremo
.
No, saremo più contenti di restare quieti
a colloquiare in silenzio;
tutto sarà ricordo
ameremo ancora libri e quadri
che agli altri appaiono senza valore.
Certamente, invecchieremo, in un tempo lontano.
Adesso e per molto ancora, varrà la pena
adirarci, amarci, scontrarci, litigare,
per gli altri siamo oggetto di discussione,
sconforto per i nostri cari.
In tutto ciò un mio pensiero ricorre,
non senza tenerezza per me stesso:
invecchieremo.
A meno che una furibonda chimera
non ci mandi al diavolo prima del tempo.
1922, A Miloš Crnjanski - amico di gioventù di Andrić (Poesie Scelte)”

“Invention and entrepreneurship isn't about pure technology. Most people take whatever they see in front of them and relate it to something they understand. For at least ten years after Ford started building cars, people called them horseless carriages. It wasn't obvious to call it a car. They used to call the radio 'the wireless.' Innovation is much more about changing people and their perceptions and their attitudes and their willingness to accept change than it is about physics and engineering.”
