| The truth is at the bottom of a well. You look in a well, and you see the sun or the moon, but if you jump in, there's no longer the sun or the moon; there's the truth. |
Leonardo Sciascia (8 January 1921 – 20 November 1989)

Oh wow, such a bitter quote, but it's true I guess.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Omnium, Astrid.
DeleteI see no bitterness; just realism, presented with subtle humour. Sciascia was very good at that.
Thank you for expanding my horizons. Again.
ReplyDeleteAs always, with pleasure at your service, Mylady. ;-)
DeleteSo many books. You must read quick - yet you seem to take it all in. Do you sleep?
ReplyDeleteTo start with the end: I do sleep. A lot. Since being back from four months reading and writing in Spain, furthermore I do my best not to miss "my" Siesta. And I am a slow reader. Word by word. I don't, f.e., do TV, though. My greatest advantage, of course, is that I got time to read in two millennia. ;-)
