Michele Pasin / Quotes

Una contesa tra avversari d'accordo sui principi

«Una volta padre Nicanor portò al castagno una scacchiera e una scatola di gettoni per invitarlo a giocare a dama, ma José Arcadio Buendia non accettò, affermando che non aveva mai potuto capire il significato di una contesa tra due avversari che erano d’accordo sui princìpi. Padre Nicanor, che non aveva mai considerato il gioco della dama da quel punto di vista, non riuscì più a giocarlo.» Gabriel García Márquez
