Diane Setterfield frasi celebri

“Avete presente quando cominciate a leggere un nuovo libro prima che la membrana di quello precedente abbia avuto il tempo di richiudersi dietro di voi? Quando lasciate il vecchio libro avete idee, argomenti - perfino personaggi - impigliati nelle fibre dei vestiti e, aprendo quello nuovo, scoprite che sono ancora con voi.”

The Thirteenth Tale

“Sarà che le emozioni hanno un odore, o un sapore; sarà che le trasmettiamo inconsapevolmente inviando vibrazioni nell'aria.”

Diane Setterfield libro The Thirteenth Tale

The Thirteenth Tale

“Quale sostegno, quale consolazione nella Verità, a paragone di una storia? A che giova la Verità a mezzanotte, al buio, quando il vento ruggisce nel comignolo come un orso? Quando il lampo sprigiona ombre sulla parete della stanza e la pioggia bussa alla finestra con le sue lunghe unghie? No: quando paura e freddo ti immobilizzano a letto come una statua, non aspettarti che la scarna e ossuta Verità accorra in tuo aiuto. Quello che ci vuole è il pingue conforto di una storia: sentirti placare, cullare dalla sicurezza di una bugia.”
