“An insipid voice message or an incongruent emergence from the “other� world may disrupt our whole thinking system. If we are not able to deal with the fragmentation of our self and assess the deconstruction of our identity, a corny incident could easily capsize our being. A misinterpretation of facts and expectations may perturb our awareness and unsettle our perception. When “I� and “me� don’t get along very well, the road to oneness may be very often bumpy. (“Alors, tout a basculé�)”

“Sometimes I think I live in a gap between two worlds, one world that I have to wake up to, be adherent of the rules and live in a place that is dictated by others. A place I sometimes feel the fear of aging and dying before I have figured out what it is I am here to do.
That other world is sweet, fresh and misty, inviting adventure into the unknown, melding ancient wisdom with new discovery; the sunlight turning into moonlight and the spell of eternal life is never broken.
Perhaps in that gap I should repair the forgotten bridge from one side to the other, but truth be told, I don't want to. I don't want to because I don't have the energy to fix what is broken within. I am a wild, wandering nomad, I belong everywhere and nowhere all at the same time, and in that gap between worlds, I am free.”

“Perhaps there was a secret door down low in the wall, a door only large enough for a child. If I stepped through that door, I would be in another world, in fairyland perhaps. It would be warm and bright there, and I would have a magical wand to protect myself. I'd ride on the back of a dragonfly, swooping through the forest. I'd battle dragons and talk to birds and have all kinds of grand adventures.
Later, I found that small door into fairyland could be conjured any time I needed it. The world beyond the door was different every time. Sometimes, I found a little stone house in the woods where I could live with just Nanette and my sister, Marie, and a tabby cat who purred by the fire. Sometimes, I lived in a castle in the air with a handsome prince who loved me. Other times, I was the prince myself, with a golden sword and a white charger.”

“It is as if, he thought, the mist represents my life outside of here and now, and that anything else is still "out there", to be discovered, or not.”

“Ay, you've already seen that you and your master aren't quite at home in this world, at least not like before.' Terence nodded slowly. 'It'll only get stronger, too,' Robin continued. 'Soon you'll find yourself looking into people's eyes to see if they've been there. And once you find someone who has, you'll greet him as a long-lost friend and take him to your heart.”

“The invention of the concept of 'the other world� was undoubtedly the greatest treason for humanity! The so called 'other world' has created a fake-hope! And with fake-hope, you can get only a fake illusion which is nothing more than a mirage!”

“Ma cosa potevo dare io a una ragazza che si aspettava dalla vita tanti di più di quanto le era stato concesso?
Non c'era niente, in realtà, che potessi fare per lei, e così le raccontai dell' "altro mondo" di Nabokov. Le domandai se aveva notato come in molti suoi romanzi - Invito a una decapitazione, I bastardi, Ada o ardore, Pnin - si intuisce sempre l'ombra di un altro mondo, cui si accede solo attraverso la finzione letteraria. È questo mondo che salva i suoi personaggi dalla disperazione totale, che diventa il loro rifugio in una vita tanto brutale quanto implacabile.”

“Those who propagandize an imaginary world that does not exist and thus spread false hope to their people are a great misfortune and an important obstacle to the development of the existing world! All the energies of humanity must be directed towards the current world and to work for the current world to become permanent!”
