“You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for 12 hours.

Lieutenant Colonel William “Bill” Kilgore

“Paradossalmente proprio gli angoli più consueti, quelli canonici, quelli che abbiamo sempre sotto gli occhi e che abbiamo sempre visto, sembrano diventare misteriosamente pieni di novità e aspetti imprevisti. Affidandoci ad alcuni stereotipi consolidati abbiamo dimenticato l’enorme potere di rivelazione che ogni nostro sguardo può contenere”.
“The more a man can forget, the greater the number of metamorphoses which his life can undergo; the more he can remember, the more divine his life becomes”.
