Riccardo’s Quotes

“Ora sì, ora capisco che cosa è l'uomo: è una vana fiamma che passa nella vita e incenerisce tutto ciò che tocca, e si spegne quando non ha più nulla da distruggere.”

“If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.”
