Umberto Eco Quote

Perché aveva scritto che alla stazione di Torino due treni diretti s’incrociavano: l’uno in partenza, e l’altro in arrivo. La sua descrizione pareva stolidamente ridondante. Ma, a ripensarci bene, l’annotazione non è così ridondante come appare a prima vista. Dov’è che due treni che s’incrociano non ripartono entrambi dopo essere arrivati?
