He kisses—how do I explain it? Like someone in love. Like he has nothing to lose. Like someone who has just learned a foreign language and can use only the present tense and only the second person. Only now, only you.

Some things are so impossible, so fantastic, that when they happen, you are not at all surprised. Their sheer impossibility has made you imagine them too many times in your head, and when you find yourself on that longed-for moonlit path, it seems unreal but still, somehow, familiar. You dreamed of it, of course; you know it like a memory.

Can you do a web about the crossing of foreign languages, like two people of different translations meeting and communicating despite the barrier? Just generally linguistics I suppose.

Ma sappiamo benissimo che il grande amore della vita non esiste. L’amore non è una cosa estrema come quella (il colpo di fulmine). E’ portare fuori il cazzo di cane così l’altro può continuare a dormire, è fare la dichiarazione dei redditi, è pulire il bagno senza prendersela. E’ avere un alleato nella vita. Non è fuoco né fiamme né fulmini.

How is this book so fucking funny?
(and more importantly, funny without being mean. we're laughing at this poor guy, but also we love him, and so does the narrator, so it's ok)

How can so many things become a bore by middle age — philosophy, radicalism, and other fast foods — but heartbreak keeps its sting?
