| Favorite Quotes | “The world is made for people who aren’t cursed with self-awareness.” “Virgie never saw it differently, never doubted that all the opposites on earth were close together, love close to hate, living to dying; but of them all, hope and despair were the closest blood – unrecognizable one from the other sometimes, making moments double upon themselves, and in the doubling double again, amending but never taking back.” — Eudora Welty, “The Wanderers” “E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle.” |
