The sun, the smoke, the man
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference”.
Samedi Pluvieux
“La sottise, l’erreur, le péché, la lésine,
Occupent nos esprits et travaillent nos corps,
Et nous alimentons nos aimables remords,
Comme les mendiants nourrissent leur vermine”.
Night Walk
“A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds”.
Rain on a Winter Day
“Two of the most frustrated trades are dentists and photographers- dentists because they want to be doctors, and photographers because they want to be painters“.
Sant’Alvise
“A good picture is born from a state of grace. Grace becomes manifest when one is free from conventions, free as a child in his first discovery of reality. The game is then to organize the triangle“.
In the rat’s alley
“E se tutto questo bujo, quest’enorme mistero, nel quale indarno i filosofi dapprima specularono, e che ora, pur rinunziando all’indagine di esso, la scienza non esclude, non fosse in fondo che un inganno come un altro, un inganno della nostra mente, una fantasia che non si colora?”.
Images and Imagination
“We seem to reinvent our memories, and in doing so, we become the person of our own imagination”.
Elizabeth Loftus
Tiberghien
“È cosa vana distogliersi dal passato per pensare soltanto all’avvenire. È una illusione pericolosa pensare soltanto che sia possibile. L’opposizione tra avvenire e passato è assurda”.
Simone Weil
