Italo Calvino Quotes
"Invisible cities are a dream that rises to the sky and falls back to the earth to become solid again""In love, as in gluttony, pleasure is a matter of the utmost precision""The only truths are personal truths""Everything can change, but not the language that we carry inside us, like a world more exclusive and final than one's mother’s womb""The universe will express itself as long as somebody will be able to say 'I read, therefore it writes'""Inside every man there are two wolves battling""There is no language without deceit""Every time I chose to act out a dream, I disfigured it, weakening the memory of another.""With cities, it is as with dreams: everything imaginable can be dreamed, but even the most unexpected dream is a rebus that conceals a desire or, its reverse, a fear.""You take delight not in a city's seven or seventy wonders, but in the answer it gives to a question of yours.""The world, as seen today, is murky and subterranean.""The human race is a zone of living things that should not be limited.""One cannot live through a day without revealing oneself.""Words are spades digging the cairns of those who can't speak""A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it""Quick decisions are unsafe decisions""The best way to know is to keep exploring""The more confined a system is, the less powerful it is to transform itself""The minute you set foot in this world of ours""The more one is conscious of the author’s presence, the greater the distance between the reader and the story"
