Rebecca Solnit

Christophe Galfard
“A clock that is moving through space at a very fast speed does not tick at the same rate as a slow-moving watch gently attached to your wrist as you stroll on a tropical beach. The idea of a universal time - a godlike clock that could somehow sit outside our universe and measure, in one go, the movement of everything in it, how its evolution unfolds, how old it is and all that - does not exist.”
Christophe Galfard, The Universe in Your Hand: A Journey Through Space, Time, and Beyond

Emily Dickinson
“Crumbling is not an instant's Act
A fundamental pause
Dilapidation's processes
Are organized Decays.

'Tis first a Cobweb on the Soul
A Cuticle of Dust
A Borer in the Axis
An Elemental Rust�

Ruin is formal—Devil's work
Consecutive and slow�
Fail in an instant, no man did
Slipping—is Crash's law.”
Emily Dickinson, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

Kamand Kojouri
“All this waiting.
Waiting for the rain to
stop. Waiting in traffic.
Waiting for the bill.
Waiting at the airport
for an old friend.
Waiting to depart.
Then,
there’s the big waiting:
waiting to grow up. Waiting
for love. Waiting to show your
your parents that when you
have kids you’ll be different.
Waiting to retire. Waiting for
death.
Why do we think waiting
is the antithesis of life
when it is almost
all of it?”
Kamand Kojouri

Luciano De Crescenzo, Così parlò Bellavista. Napoli, amore e libertà

Amara Lakhous
“[...] il difetto del turista consiste nella sua voglia eccessiva di sapere e scoprire tutto in pochi giorni. Molto spesso ho consigliato ai viaggiatori di pazientare e non avere fretta. Il bel viaggio non finisce, perché custodisce in sé la promessa di un nuovo inizio per quello seguente. È come i racconti di Shahrazad, che non finiscono mai, iniziano sempre. (p. 151)”
Amara Lakhous, Clash of Civilizations Over an Elevator in Piazza Vittorio
