Knowledge of the world means dissolving the solidity of the world.

My confidence in the future of literature consists in the knowledge that there are things that only literature can give us, by means specific to it.

I’m reading! I don’t want to be disturbed!

It was the hour in which objects lose the consistency of shadow that accompanies them during the night and gradually reacquire colors, but seem to cross meanwhile an uncertain limbo, faintly touched, just breathed on by light; the hour in which one is least certain of the world's existence.

You know that the best you can expect is to avoid the worst.

Everything can change, but not the language that we carry inside us, like a world more exclusive and final than one's mother's womb.

The line between the reality that is photographed because it seems beautiful to us and the reality that seems beautiful because it has been photographed is very narrow.
