"Anyway, it's like with bikes,' said the first speaker authoritatively. 'I thought I was going to get this bike with seven gears and one of them razorblade saddles and purple paint and everything, and they gave me this light blue one. With a basket. A girl's bike.''Well. You're a girl,' said one of the others.'That's sexism, that is. Going around giving people girly presents just because they're a girl."

"Dwarfs were not a naturally religious species, but in a world where pit props could crack without warning and pockets of fire damp could suddenly explode they'd seen the need for gods as the sort of supernatural equivalent of a hard hat. Besides, when you hit your thumb with an eight-pound hammer it's nice to be able to blaspheme. It takes a very special and strong-minded kind of atheist to jump up and down with their hand clasped under their other armpit and shout, "Oh, random-fluctuations-in-the-space-time-continuum!" or "Aaargh, primitive-and-outmoded-concept on a crutch!"

Salvatore Quasimodo
"My readers at that time were still men of letters; but there had to be other people waiting to read my poems."

Man

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo

Man

Salvatore Quasimodo
"After the turbulence of death, moral principles and even religious proofs are called into question."

Death

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"Thus, the poet's word is beginning to strike forcefully upon the hearts of all men, while absolute men of letters think that they alone live in the real world."

Salvatore Quasimodo
"We wrote verses that condemned us, with no hope of pardon, to the most bitter solitude."

Hope

Salvatore Quasimodo
"The poet does not fear death, not because he believes in the fantasy of heroes, but because death constantly visits his thoughts and is thus an image of a serene dialogue."

Death

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"From the night, his solitude, the poet finds day and starts a diary that is lethal to the inert. The dark landscape yields a dialogue."

Writing

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"The poet's spoken discourse often depends on a mystique, on the spiritual freedom that finds itself enslaved on earth."

Earth

"War, I have always said, forces men to change their standards, regardless of whether their country has won or lost."

Change

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"He passes from lyric to epic poetry in order to speak about the world and the torment in the world through man, rationally and emotionally. The poet then becomes a danger."
