While a voice says: it's closing time, the customers are kindly invited to exit. The lights are wound down, she exits. The city is grey outside, the public square is empty, the church armored from a gate, you cannot sit down anymore on the steps, God perhaps goes around with a bulletproof vest, Alice thinks. And she thinks that maybe this evening she will have to sleep to the station, she will not be able to resist that cold, she will not be able to go ahead, but you speak about courage and grit and dignity to me, I'm only a meter and sixty-two for forty-seven kilos, how can I andle the squeak of the world and the shouts of the dead men and the false rock and the chill and the hunger, the oyster eaters and the benevolent dealers...
I have not made the '68 the '77' one and maybe I will not even make the 2008.
I need an angel.
Otherwise, I do not know how to do.
from the book "" by Stefano Benni

    We mustn't be subjected to anything, not even to good. A so-called good, to which you succumb, loses the ethycal character. It doesn't become bad in itself, but by being dominated it can have some bad consequences. Every shape of intoxication is is unhealthy, it makes no difference if alcohol or morphine or idealism.
    We mustn't consider good and evil as two opposites.

      I do not want to suffer, I don't have of suffering a cristian idea. They tell us that suffering lifts the spirit up; but no, suffering is a painful thing and that's it, and it doesn't lift anything up. And so I am not afraid of suffering. Because when it comes to death, I, that in all things I believe to be a moderate, I am an absolute radical. If we have a right to life, we also have a right to death. It's up to us, and we must have recognized the right of choosing the when and how of our death.
