Elsa Morante Quotes
Man, by his very nature, tends to give himself an explanation of the world into which he is born. And this is what distinguishes him from the other species.

And without it, he would sink into madness.

Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.
