“He sank back into his black-and-white world, his immobile world of inanimate drawings that had been granted the secret of motion, his death-world with its hidden gift of life. But that life was a deeply ambiguous life, a conjurer's trick, a crafty illusion based on an accidental property of the retina, which retained an image for a fraction of a second after the image was no longer present. On this frail fact was erected the entire structure of the cinema, that colossal confidence game. The animated cartoon was a far more honest expression of the cinematic illusion than the so-called realistic film, because the cartoon reveled in its own illusory nature, exulted in the impossible--indeed it claimed the impossible as its own, exalted it as its own highest end, found in impossibility, in the negation of the actual, its profoundest reason for being. The animated cartoon was nothing but the poetry of the impossible--therein lay its exhilaration and its secret melancholy. For this willful violation of the actual, while it was an intoxicating release from the constriction of things, was at the same time nothing but a delusion, an attempt to outwit mortality. As such it was doomed to failure. And yet it was desperately important to smash through the constriction of the actual, to unhinge the universe and let the impossible stream in, because otherwise--well, otherwise the world was nothing but an editorial cartoon.”

“Io non mi avvicino, odio i manichini. Soprattutto quando le luci delle vetrine sono spente. Sembrano così tristi, loro abbinamenti ricercati, nella posa precisa e immutabile, nella posa migliore. Grazie a quella perfetta posizione delle mani, qualcuno passando si fermerà e dirà caspita che bel vestito, l'ha comprato in questo negozio? sembra carino, quasi quasi lo compro anche io. È un oggetto che esiste solo nella speranza di essere guardato, il manichino, e l'attesa non ha riposo e il presente è fatto di niente, solo una combinazione di colori e di tagli e di stoffe che in futuro cambierà solo in funzione del giudizio della gente.
No, non mi avvicino, brutta compagnia.”
