Quotes by Francesco Verso (?)

“The truth is never hidden. It is just difficult to accept, so we pretend not to see it.”
― Francesco Verso, Nexhuman

“I learn a lot about people by spending time up to my elbows in their rubbish. Dustbins are like safe deposit boxes: they contain secrets that people had thought would disappear. By counting how many condoms they throw away, you can tell if and how often a couple makes love to each other; a girl's empty perfume bottles will tell what to send her as a gift; discarded tickets from venues and shows tell you where to take them on a date; if you make a note of all the creams someone uses, you'll find out just where their insecurities lie.

Tell me what you throw away, and I'll tell you what you are.”
― Francesco Verso, Nexhuman

“I know that life is a dark experience we spend our lives trying to give meaning to, a puzzle without instructions we have to solve as fast as possible. It's not so different from love ...”

Francesco’s Quotes

“Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... Choose DSY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself, choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?”
― Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting
