Lungo il fiume
“Pretese delle parole; pretendono di regolare i conti con quello che succede là fuori, di descriverlo e definirlo. Ma là fuori tutto si svolge non in questo o in quel modo, c’entra poco con ciò che dicono le parole. Il fiume qui sfocia in una distesa senza limiti, i colori si mescolano da tutte le parti: come descrivere?”
Gianni Celati
Some Seconds of Sea
“I have a feeling of complete balance. The sea, the house, the loneliness, the light. Everything is clearer. Much more precise. I have the feeling that I am living on a limit, and I’m crossing that limit sometimes”.
Ingmar Bergman
Albero Padano
“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”.
Soren Kierkegaard
Summer Shadows
“There is an aesthetic of familiarity, a sedative of ordinariness which dulls the senses and hides the wonder of existence”.
Richard Dawkins
Lunch Break
“There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less”.
G.K. Chesterton
