"Gli amori difficili: definizione ironica, certo, perché dove d'amore - o di amori - si tratta, le difficoltà restano molto relative. O almeno, ciò che sta alla base di molte di queste storie è una difficoltà di comunicazione, una zona di silenzio al fondo dei rapporti umani. Se queste sono, per la più parte, storie di come una coppia non s'incontra, nel loro non incontrarsi l'autore sembra far consistere non solo una ragione di disperazione ma pure un elemento fondamentale - se non addirittura l'essenza stessa - del rapporto amoroso" (Italo Calvino).

Gabriel Liiceanu: Sa acceptam ca exista gânditori în fata carora te poti "preda", ca gândurile lor, în loc sa fie "digerate pâna la a li se pierde urma", devin totodata, deîndata ce le expui si interpretezi, calea ta privilegiata de acces la lucruri.

Dar o faci pe fondul unui travesti mental: lasându-l pe celalalt sa vorbeasca, vorbesti si tu odata cu el.

It was a heat-of-the-moment agreement scribbled onto the back of a crinkled gas station receipt nine years ago. "If neither of us is married by age 30, we'll marry each other." Haha! So funny! Cash moved to a city 500 miles away, built his billion-dollar empire, and made a name for himself. Me? I stayed in our gossipy hometown, working a simple job and living a simple life. And we never discussed the marriage pact again. But I just turned the big three-oh, and Cash showed up at my door in the middle of a freaking rainstorm.
