“Reality can be entered through the main door or it can be slipped into through a window, which is much more fun.”
Gianni Rodari, The Grammar of Fantasy: An Introduction to the Art of Inventing Stories

“«Quanto pesa una lacrima?»
«Secondo: la lacrima di un bambino capriccioso pesa meno del vento, quella di un bambino affamato pesa più di tutta la terra.»”
Gianni Rodari, Il libro degli errori

“Небето е на всички

То е мое, когато го гледам,
и на тоя до мен, и на тебе,
на царя, на градинаря,
на поета, на малкото бебе.

Няма бедняк така беден,
че да не го притежава.
За лъва и за зайчето то е
обща въздушна държава

И никак не се изхабява,
ако пръв го погледне съседа,
не става по-малко красиво,
за който последен го гледа.

А щом е така - питат всички
момиченца и момченца, -
защо е небето цяло,
а земята на малки парченца?”
Gianni Rodari, Filastrocche in cielo e in terra
