David Nicholls Frasi e Citazioni

“Vivi ogni giorno come se fosse l’ultimo”, di solito il consiglio era questo, ma chi aveva l’energia sufficiente per farlo? E se pioveva o eri di cattivo umore? Era poco pratico. Molto meglio cercare di essere coraggiosi e audaci e cambiare le cose in meglio. Non proprio il mondo, ma il pezzettino intorno a te. Coltiva le amicizia, non tradire i tuoi principi, vivi intensamente, appassionatamente. Un giorno”

David Nicholls

“Di tutte le cose che aveva scritto e abbandonato, questa era la prima che a una rilettura, che non le era venuta voglia di gettare nel fuoco. Sapeva che era buona. Forse, avrebbe dovuto cercare una spintarella. Nonostante i tanti agganci che si era portata dietro dal college, aveva fatto voto di non chiedere mai favori, Tirare per la giacchetta i coetanei, assomigliava troppo a scroccare soldi a un amico. Ma adesso aveva una scatola piena di lettere di rifiuto e, come sua madre non mancava di ricordarle, Emma non stava ringiovanendo.”
