“What is a rebel? Someone who says no. But saying no does not mean giving up: it also means saying yes, with every gesture.”

I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.”

“Anyway it was an idea of mother's and she often used to repeat it, that you ended up getting used to everything.”

“Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.”
