Frasi di Jay McInerney

“Sometimes I think the difference between what we want and what we're afraid of is about the width of an eyelash.”

“Everything becomes symbol and irony when you've been betrayed”

“Your heartbreak is just another version of the same old story.”

“You have friends who actually care about you and speak the language of the inner self. You have avoided them of late. Your soul is as disheveled as your apartment, and until you can clean it up a little you don't want to invite anyone inside.”

“Something changed. Somewhere along the line you stopped accelerating.”

“You notice for the first time that she has freckles. You didn't know they still made them.”

“You are on the anti-cline of the first rush. You are also experiencing the inevitable disappointment of clubs. You enter with an anticipation that on the basis of past experience is completely unjustified. You always seem to forget that you don't really like to dance. Since you are already here, though, you owe it to yourself to make a sustained assault on the citadel of the senses.”

“… and what you are left with is a premonition of the way your life will fade behind you, like a book you have read too quickly, leaving a dwindling trail of images and emotions until all you can remember is a name.”

“You are a republic of voices tonight. Unfortunately, that republic is Italy.”
