"Noi dobbiamo morire per chiudere con serietà il Quarantotto. Affinché il nostro esempio sia efficace, dobbiamo morire". (Luciano Manara).

IV. Death by Water - T. S. Eliot

Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.

A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.

Gentile or Jew
O you who turn the wheel and look to windward,
Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and
tall as you

“The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space.”

Italo Calvino

"Drama - greetings to you, my friend. And remember this - only those who have been betrayed as you have been betrayed, can be trusted - for they walk the same path, and uncovered the same enemy".

A quote by a real friend from the old TWC times.
