In Dostoevsky, I find nothing but a friend, a sincere friend. Aleksey Ivanovich is goodness and, as such, is a river in flood.

In Italy, the bicycle fully belongs to the national artistic heritage, exactly like Leonardo's Mona Lisa, the dome of St. Peter’s, or the Divine Comedy. Coppi is progress, he is the new, he is the engine... Bartali, like Malaparte, is human conservation, the moderate reaction to modernity.
