Jerry Spinelli Frasi e Citazioni

“Perché gli orologi sono circolari?
Il tempo non è circolare.

E chi ha inventato i minuti?
Cos'hanno mai fatto di buono?
Accorciano il divertimento
e misurano l'infelicità.

Orologi: ecco il problema.
Ogni orologio è un nido di ore e minuti.
Gli orologi ci modellano
secondo la loro forma.
E invece di puntare alla stella più vicina,
ruotiamo su noi stessi.”

Jerry Spinelli
