Anthony Doerr frasi celebri

“Sognò alberi che gelavano, che esplodevano nella notte; sognò lupi al galoppo lungo un crinale e labirinti in miniatura sotto la neve. Forse, pensò in seguito, erano in realtà i sogni degli insetti, che percorrevano l’aria gelida tra lui e loro lungo fili invisibili. Forse erano lì da sempre e solo ora riusciva a sintonizzarcisi, come se si trovasse ancora sulla spiaggia e vagasse tra le frequenze con la radiolina a onde corte. I sogni da letargo degli insetti: cristalli di ghiaccio sotto l’esoscheletro, dentro i minuscoli organi, il sangue sospeso in filigrane, coroncine, diademi. Ognuno a sognare il giorno in cui sarebbe arrivato il disgelo, in cui il sole li avrebbe raggiunti nel tronco o bozzolo o galleria e li avrebbe accesi come una lampada.”

About Grace

“L'esistenza di ognuno di noi comincia con un'unica cellula, più piccola di un granello di polvere. Molto più piccola. Suddividiti. Moltiplicati. Somma e sottrai. La materia cambia padrone, gli atomi affluiscono e defluiscono, le molecole ruotano, le proteine si legano, i mitocondri emanano i loro decreti di ossidazione; in principio erano microscopici sciami elettrici. I polmoni il cervello il cuore. Quaranta settimane dopo, seimila miliardi di cellule s'incuneano nella morsa del canale del parto di nostra madre, e noi strilliamo. Dopo di che il mondo inizia a darci addosso.”

“Tre ragazzi passano ridendo e Max li guarda con intensità. Su un muro butterato e chiazzato di licheni è fissata una piccola lapide di pietra. <>Ici a été tuè Buy Gaston Marcel agé de 18 ans, mort pour la France le 11 aout 1944. Jutta si siede per terra. Il mare è gonfio, grigio d'ardesia. Non ci sono lapidi per i tedeschi morti qui.”
