Alda Merini

As I am Catholic I have never played. *       *       * I've had thirty-six lovers plus tax. *       *       * I am the most chaste woman in Italian literature. *       *       * I am completely asexual not counting errors and omissions. *       *       * Mount Sinai is sometimes confused with the Mons Veneris. *       *       * No one can know what is between me and God.

Psychoanalysis always looks for the egg in a basket that has been lost. *       *       * I sample sin as if it were the beginning of well-being. *       *       * I don't like Paradise as they probably don't have obsessions there. *       *       * If God absolves me he always does so for insufficient evidence. *       *       * Everyone is a friend of his own pathology. *       *       * When I raise a toast to madness, I toast myself as well. *       *       * There are nights that don't ever happen.
