“Buon giorno», disse il piccolo principe. «Buon giorno», disse il mercante. Era un mercante di pillole perfezionate che calmavano la sete... Se ne inghiottiva una alla settimana e non si sentiva più il bisogno di bere. «Perché vendi questa roba?» disse il piccolo principe. «E' una grossa economia di tempo», disse il mercante. «Gli esperti hanno fatto dei calcoli. Si risparmia1no cinquantatré minuti alla settimana». «E che cosa se ne fa di questi cinquantatré minuti?» «Se ne fa quel che si vuole...» «Io», disse il piccolo principe, «se avessi cinquantatré minuti da spendere, camminerei adagio adagio verso una fontana...»”

“You've been listening to the adagio from Beethoven's 7th Symphony. I think Ludwig pretty much summed up death in this one. You know, he had lost just about all his hearing when he wrote it, and I've often wondered if that didn't help him tune into the final silence of the great beyond.”

“By the time the last few notes fade, his hope will be restored, but each time he's force to resort to the Adagio it becomes harder, and he knows its effect is finite. There are only a certain number of Adagios left in him, and he will not recklessly spend this precious currency.”

“The serious is the most difficult branch of dancing, it requires a close study, and cannot be duly appreciated but by connoisseurs and men of a refined and pure taste. She who excels in it deserves the highest applause. A correct execution of an adagio is the ne plus ultra of our art; I look on it as the touchstone of the dancer.”

“An evening up on the Empire State roof-the strangest experience. The huge tomb in steel and glass, the ride to the 84th floor and there, under the clouds, a Hawaiian string quartet, lounge, concessions and, a thousand feet below, New York-a garden of golden lights winking on and off, automobiles, trucks winding in and out, and not a sound. All as silent as a dead city-and it looks adagio down there.”
