ANALYSIS OF SOME QUOTATIONS

I have to analyze four quotations in order to make a comparison between them.

The first one is: Le regole dell’attrazione le cercano tutti. Ma sono le regole della distrazione quelle più interessanti e non le cerca nessuno. The quotation states that everybody researches the rules of attraction while nobody focuses his attention on the rules of distraction. From the statement human beings’ superficial mood comes on surface; indeed human beings are not interested in discovering the rules of distraction because they are intriguing. Things which are intriguing are at the same time difficult; people are for the most part lazy and they do not want to work hard to understand something difficult.

The second quotation is: Il senso della misura è incommensurabile in questa modernità. The quotation states that universal laws do not exist and it reminds the idea of the postmodernist philosophic paradigm: there is no identifiable truth. In particular Feyerabend stated that the only absolute truth is that there are no absolutely truths.

The third quotation is: Il pudore è un’intermittenza dello stile. It seems as if modesty is a limit and it does not allow a free expression; indeed a writer should not be modest, if he wants to demonstrate to be a self – confident person and so a “great writer”.

The fourth quotation is: I ricordi indietreggiano sempre: come fa il tempo quando lo va a cercare. Poi quando li metti con le spalle al muro sanno raccontare tutto. The statement reminds the idea of looking within himself and of digging up some memories in order to better understand ourselves, our feelings, our desires or our fears.
