“The more enlightened our houses are, the more their walls ooze ghosts.” — Italo Calvino Quote

“The more enlightened our houses are, the more their walls ooze ghosts.”

“My stories are full of facts; they have a beginning and an end. For that reason, they will never... occupy a place in contemporary literature.”

“I change my method and field of reference from book to book because I can never believe in the same thing two times running.”

“Everybody wants to get enlightened but nobody wants to change.”

“I have been enlightened. I have fallen into poetry and it has swallowed me up.”

“I represent all the enlightened people in this country, and that's a fine thing to be able to do. It infuriates my opponents when I say this, but it is true.”
