“Who was this woman who lived for other people and yet, beneath everything and without knowing or admitting to it, harbored the demands of an entire life within her as if they had been left there entirely touched, so that one could often get the idea that she was also the opposite of what she wanted to be, and that both of these states would be equally true and equally unreal?”

“Fear was Can't.
Fear was Won't.
But fear wasn't ever a choice.
To never fear was to never hope. Never love. never live. To never fear the dark was to never smile as the dawn kissed your face. To never fear solitude was to never know the joy of a beauty in your arms.
Part of having is the fear of losing.
Part of creating is the fear of it breaking.
Part of beginning is the fear of your ending.
Fear is never a choice.
Never a choice.
But letting it rule you is.”

“I hope that somewhere in the thicket of your sprawling pain you may come upon the small spring that has already cried all the tears before, and, indeed, for you in advance.”

“Ma i libri [...] pesano tanto: eppure, chi se ne ciba e se li mette in corpo, vive tra le nuvole.”

“Forse col tempo diventeremo due estranei. Ma l’affresco sarà lì, lo vedranno tutti, e ci passeranno davanti migliaia, centinaia di migliaia di pellegrini, e leggeranno nelle guide "San Pietro libera la spiritata" di Giovan Francesco Romanelli, e cercheranno di ricordarsi dove hanno letto l’episodio – negli "Atti degli Apostoli"? Non è un vero miracolo, non è nemmeno una guarigione, è un’epifania del mistero della presenza, del bene che esercitiamo gli uni sugli altri, al di là delle parole e del contatto dei corpi, e tu mi hai fatto del bene, e io ho fatto del bene a te, e conosco solo un modo per dirlo, e nessuno saprà mai che questa immagine parla di noi, e quando tu e io non ci saremo più, essa ci sarà ancora, e allora anche noi saremo sempre giovani e innocenti, e la mia ombra ti toccherà , e farà fuggire i tuoi demoni e tu sarai libera.”
