Perché è così che ti frega, la vita. Ti piglia quando hai ancora l'anima addormentata e ti semina dentro un'immagine, o un odore, o un suono che poi non te lo togli più. E quella lì era la felicità. Lo scopri dopo, quand'è troppo tardi. E già sei, per sempre, un esule: a migliaia di chilometri da quell'imagine, da quel suono, da quell'odore. Alla deriva.»
