But for this you need to stay calm, calm, there can only betray. And Amalfitano said, everything else fails us? And he said: yes, yes indeed, it is hard to admit in front of you, but the simple truth. The ethics betrays us? Honesty fails us? Curiosity betrays us? Love betrays us? The courage fails us? Art betrays us? Well, 'yes,' said the voice, everything, everything fails us, or betray you, which is another thing but in this case is the same, except the calm, the calm only fails us, and not even that, I'll admit, is a guarantee. No, "said Amalfitano, courage never fails us. And even the love of children. Oh no? Asked the voice. No, Amalfitano said, feeling suddenly calm.
Roberto Bolaño, 2666, translated by ILIDA Carmignani, Adelphi, Milano 2007, p. 263.
