Alda Merini quotes:

I don't like Paradise,As they probably don't have obsessions there.

Non mi manca quello che mostravi di essere, mi manca quello che pensavo tu fossi.

We are hungry for tenderness,

In that moment, I could not write anything about flowers because I myself had turned into a flower, I myself had a stem and a lymph.

I used to hold a fiery wind and I tried to determine the direction where poetry would fly.
