Durante (Andrea De Carlo) / quote 21 of 22

Ogni vita è una cosa piccola

Durante ha detto “Qualunque sia la tua vita, devi tenere conto che è una cosa piccola”. “Lo so” ho detto, ancora completamente incerto sulle nostre rispettive posizioni. “Ti sembra sconfinata perché ci sei dentro” ha detto lui. “Al punto che la maggior parte del tempo non riesci a vedere oltre. Ma l’involucro è fragile, e si deteriora con una rapidità sorprendente.”
