Antonio Tabucchi quotes

I don't go for people who lead full and satisfying lives.

But democracy isn't a state of perfection. It has to be improved, and that means constant vigilance.

As a writer, I've always been interested in others.

I don't know whether these people are going to find themselves, but as they live their lives they have no choice but to face up to the image others have of them. They're forced to look at themselves in a mirror, and they often manage to glimpse something of themselves.

People with lots of doubts sometimes find life more oppressive and exhausting than others, but they're more energetic - they aren't robots.
