"Lei seminò nella mia testa l'idea secondo cui la realtà non è solo come appare in superficie, perché ha una dimensione magica e, volendo, è legittimo esagerarla e colorirla per rendere meno noioso il passaggio attraverso questa vita."
Isabel Allende, Eva Luna

"Rocco le cose le avvertiva prima sulla pelle e poi le capiva nella res cogitans. Ci sono vibrazioni e onde fra le persone che a volte valgono più di cento pensieri. Un po’ come quando giocava a carte con suo zio che gli diceva sempre: -Rocco, ricordati la regola [...]: è sempre mejo na’ guardata che cento pensate!-".
Antonio Manzini
"Rocco felt the things on the skin first and then understand the res cogitans. There are vibrations and waves between people who sometimes are worth more than a hundred thoughts. As when he played cards with his uncle who always told him: -Rocco, remember the rule [...] is always better a glimpse than one hundred thoughts!- ".

"A volte sento la paura dell'incertezza stuzzicarmi in maniera chiara
e io non posso fare niente a parte chiedere a me stesso per quanto tempo ancora lascerò
che questa paura prenda in mano il volante e guidi."
Incubus, Drive
"Sometimes I feel the fear of the uncertainty stinging clear
and I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer."

"Ho bisogno di solitudine. Ho bisogno di spazio. Ho bisogno di aria.
Ho bisogno di campi vuoti intorno a me;
e le mie gambe martellante lungo le strade; e dormire; e esistenza animale. "
Virginia Woolf, Il diario di Virginia Woolf
“I need solitude. I need space. I need air. I need the empty fields round me;
and my legs pounding along roads; and sleep; and animal existence.”
Virginia Woolf, The Diary of Virginia Woolf
"Amo appoggiare la mia mano sul tronco di un albero davanti il quale passo, non per assicurarmi dell’esistenza dell’albero – di cui io non dubito – ma della mia."

"I love to rest my hand on the trunk of a tree in front of wich I step, not to be sure
of the existence of the tree - of which I have no doubt - but mine."

"Non sai bene se la vita è viaggio, se è sogno, se è attesa, se è un piano che si svolge giorno dopo giorno e non te ne accorgi se non guardando all’indietro. Non sai se ha senso. In certi momenti, il senso non conta. Contano i legami."
Jorge Luis Borges
"You don't you know if life is a journey, if it is a dream, if it is a wait, if it is a plan that takes place every day and you don't understand it if you don't look backwards. You do not know if it makes sense. At times, sense does not count. The bonds count."

Su mundu est de chie lu cheret, su chelu de chie l'alcansat.
Il mondo è di chi lo vuole, il cielo di chi l'ottiene.
The world belongs to those who want it, the sky to those who gets it.

The bleeding love, the silent escape
You’ve got to hang on to yourself

You’ve got to hang on to yourself

Hang on to yourself."

"Conosco delle barche straboccanti di sole perché hanno condiviso anni meravigliosi. Conosco delle barche che tornano sempre quando hanno navigato. Fino al loro ultimo giorno, e sono pronte a spiegare le loro ali di giganti perché hanno un cuore a misura di oceano."
Jacques Brel
"I know some boats overflowing with sun because they shared wonderful years. I know some boats that always return when they have sailed. Up until their last day, and they are ready to spread their wings of giants because they have a heart suitable to ocean."

Henry David Thoreau, Walden
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms."
Henry David Thoreau, Walden

"Cercare adagio, umilmente, costantemente di esprimere, di tornare a spremere dalla terra bruta o da ciò ch'essa genera, dai suoni, dalle forme e dai colori, che sono le porte della prigione della nostra anima, un'immagine di quella bellezza che siamo giunti a comprendere: questo è l'arte".
James Joyce, “Dedalus”
"Look slowly, humbly, constantly to express, to return to squeeze the brute earth or what it generates, from the sounds, the shapes and the colors, which are the prison gates of our soul, an image of that beauty that we have come to understand: this is art. "

"Le cose sono là che navigano nella luce, escono dal vuoto per aver luogo ai nostri occhi. Noi siamo implicati nel loro apparire e scomparire, quasi che fossimo qui proprio per questo. Il mondo esterno ha bisogno che lo osserviamo e raccontiamo, per aver esistenza."
Gianni Celati
"The things are there that sail into the light, out of the vacuum take place inside our eyes. We are involved in their appearance and disappearance, as if we were here for this. The outside world needs us in order to observe and tell about it, to come to life."

"Arco non è altro che una fortezza causata da due debolezze; l'arco negli edifici è composto di due parti, ciascuna debolissima per sé, desidera cadere, e opponendosi l'una all'altra, le due debolezze si convertono in unica fortezza.”
Leonardo da Vinci
"Arch is nothing more than a force caused by two weaknesses; the arch in buildings is composed of two parts, both weak in itself, want to fall, and opposing to each other, the two weaknesses are converted into a single force."

"Siamo spagnoli, africani, fenici, cartaginesi, romani, arabi, pisani, bizantini, piemontesi. Siamo le ginestre d'oro giallo che spiovono sui sentieri rocciosi come grandi lampade accese. Siamo la solitudine selvaggia, il silenzio immenso e profondo, lo splendore del cielo, il bianco fiore del cisto. Siamo il regno ininterrotto del lentisco, delle onde che ruscellano i graniti antichi, della rosa canina, del vento, dell'immensità del mare. Siamo una terra antica di lunghi silenzi, di orizzonti ampi e puri, di piante fosche, di montagne bruciate dal sole e dalla vendetta. Noi siamo sardi."
Grazia Deledda
"We are Spanish, Africans, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, Pisans, Byzantine, Piedmont. We are the golden yellow gorse on the rocky trails that droops as large lighted lamps. We are the wild solitude, the vast and deep silence, the splendor of the sky, the white flower of Cistus. We are the uninterrupted reign of the mastic tree, the waves that flow through the ancient granites, the reign of the rose hips, the wind, the immensity of the sea. We are an ancient land of long silences, of wide and pure horizons, of bleak plants, of mountain burned by the sun and revenge. We are Sardinians."
