"Eravamo adolescenti, bambini superficialmente sofisticati, che non sapevano davvero nulla di come funzionava il mondo - lo stavamo sperimentando, immagino, ma senza averne cognizione. Almeno fino a quando non accadde qualcosa che ci proiettò in uno stato di esaltata consapevolezza."-Bret Easton Ellis, The Shards
"And I just stood there in the fading afternoon light, realizing at seventeen that I was already staring into my past — that the past had a meaning that would always define you. I remember this being one of my first moments nearing adulthood, when I realized how powerful memory was — or at least it was the first time it hurt the most. And there was nothing I could do about the pain of the past — it just settled over me."-Bret Easton Ellis, The Shards
