“There in the dim light, staring at the shadow on the wall, I poured out the story of my life. It had been so long but slowly, like melting ice, I released each circumstance. How I managed to support myself. Yet never managed to go anywhere. Never went anywhere, but aged all the same. How nothing touched me. And I touched nothing. How I’d lost track of what mattered. How i worked like...

Timshel.
Lee’s hand shook as he filled the delicate cups. He drank his down in one gulp. “Don’t you see?” he cried. “The American Standard translation orders men to triumph over sin, and you can call sin ignorance. The King James translation makes a promise in ‘Thou shalt,’ meaning that men will surely triumph over sin. But the Hebrew word, the word timshel—‘Thou mayest’— that gives a choice. It might be...

Some things never change. And sometimes it’s a good thing. I never thought I’d come this far up north. And drink tea at 6 AM feeling in Maret.
Sequel in Prague. Just with extra sleep involved.

The Grapes of Wrath, Chapter 9.
“You’re not buying only junk, you’re buying junked lives. And more - you’ll see - you’re buying bitterness. Buying a plow to plow your own children under, buying the arms and spirits that might have saved you.[…] You’re buying years of work, toil in the sun; you’re buying a sorrow that cannot talk. But watch it, mister. There’s a premium goes with this pile of...

Barney's version
Miriam ordinò la zuppa di piselli e io, chissà perché, quella di aragosta, che mi fa schifo. E mentre la Prince Arthur Room cominciava a basculare, cercavo disperatamente una battuta fulminante, un aforisma letale, capace di stendere Miriam e far impallidire il ricordo di Oscar Wilde. Risultato, mi sentii pronunciare le seguenti parole: “Ti piace vivere a Toronto?”

‘cause I always say I love you When I mean turn out the light. And I say let’s run away When I just mean stay the night. But the words you want to hear You will never hear from me. I’ll never say “Happy anniversary.” Never stay to say “Happy anniversary.” So I think I need a new heart. Ohhh

Tu sei come una terrache nessuno ha mai detto.Tu non attendi nullase non la parolache sgorgherà dal fondocome un frutto tra i rami.C’è un vento che ti giunge.Cose secche e rimortet’ingombrano e vanno nel vento.Membra e parole antiche.Tu tremi nell’estate. 29 ottobre 1945 Cesare Pavese
