Elena Ferrante Quotes
We are tornadoes that pick up fragments with the most varied historical and biological origins. This makes of us -- thankfully -- fickle agglomerations that maintain a fragile equilibrium, that are inconsistent and complex, that can't be reduced to any fixed framework that does not inevitably leave out a great deal. Which is why the more effective stories resemble ramparts from which one can gaze out at everything that has been excluded.

And beasts and men that to his earthly sight
were merely bits of stone shall live again to
gladden those eager eyes.

Seeker of truth and light through all eternity!
