"A Lucignana non abbiamo regine ma fate si, molte."

-Alba Donati, Diary of a Tuscan Bookshop: A Memoir

"How did I get the idea? Ideas don't just spring out of nothing - they smoulder, ferment, crowd our mind while we sleep. Ideas walk on their own two legs, follow their own parallel path in part of us we have absolutely no idea existed, until one day they come knocking: here we are, they say, now listen carefully!"

-Alba Donati, Diary of a Tuscan Bookshop: A Memoir

"Cit. p.81 "I fiori come noi pensano, intuiscono la via più semplice, evitano percorsi difficili. e lottano, hanno spiriti rivoluzionari. ... Penso alla povera erba medica che ripone dentro leggere spirali i suoi semi per rallentarne la caduta e permettere al vento di portarli lontano, L'erba è troppo vicina al suolo e il seme in un battibaleno è a terra."
