Lesson 6: Baricco's most famous quotes
Ocean Sea Quotes
This is the seashore. Neither land nor sea. It’s a place that does not exist.
Alessandro Baricco, Ocean Sea
I did not love you beacause of boredom or loneliness or caprice. I loved you because the desire for you was stronger than any happiness.
Alessandro Baricco, Ocean Sea
-Ogni tanto mi chiedo che cosa stiamo aspettando?
-Che sia troppo tardi.
Alessandro Baricco, Ocean Sea
…how it would be nice if, for every sea waiting for us, there would be a river, for us.
And someone -a father, a lover, someone- able to take us by the hand and find that river -imagine it, invent it- and put us on its stream, with the lightness of one only word, goodbye. This, really, would be wonderful. It would be sweet, life, every life. And things wouldn’t hurt, but they would get near taken by stream, one could first shave and then touch them and only finally be touched. Be wounded, also. Die because of them. Doesn’t matter. But everything would be, finally, human. It would be enough someone’s fancy -a father, a lover, someone- could invent a way, here in the middle of the silence, in this land which don’t wanna talk. Clement way, and beautiful.
Non ti amo per noia, o per solitudine, o per capriccio. Ti amo perchè il desiderio di te è più forte di qualsiasi felicità.
Alessandro Baricco, Ocean Sea
There is nothing that can, in the dark become true
Alessandro Baricco, Ocean Sea
Perché nessuno possa dimenticare che non si è mai lontani abbastanza per trovarsi, mai.
Alessandro Baricco, Ocean Sea
She had not really a sensitive soul, but to put it in exact terms, was possessed by an uncontrollable feeling of mind
Alessandro Baricco, Ocean Sea
Sensazione meravigliosa. Di quando il destino finalmente si schiude, e diventa sentiero distinto, e ormai inequivocabile, e direzione certa. Il tempo interminabile dell'avvicinamento. Quell'accostarsi. Si vorrebbe non finisse mai. Il gesto di consegnarsi al destino. Quella è un'emozione: Senza più dilemmi, senza più menzogne. Sapere dove. E raggiungerlo. Qualunque sia, il destino.
Alessandro Baricco, Ocean Sea
As you see, it is not that I don't know my own mind, I know it very well but only up to a certain point in the matter. I know perfectly well what the question is. It's the answer I want.
