“Your mind should be like a room with many open windows,” Bapuji told me. “Let the breeze flow in from all, but refuse to be blown away by any one.”

“Quasi sempre tendiamo a guardare il Rinascimento dal punto di vista degli artisti, eppure, se ci sforziamo di pensarci committenti, ci accorgiamo che il rapporto tra i Medici e Botticelli è molto simile a quello che abbiamo oggi con un muratore a cui chiediamo di ristrutturare un appartamento: ci affidiamo a lui per il lavoro, ma le piastrelle pretendiamo di sceglierle noi. Botticelli è ritenuto un grande artista , ma nel XV secolo un artista è socialmente più simile a un muratore che a un intellettuale e l'arte è così importante per la politica che non si può lasciarla in mano ad un semplice pittore.”

“A 'no' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.”

“If you are not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, I’m not interested in or open to your feedback. There are a million cheap seats in the world today filled with people who will never be brave with their lives but who will spend every ounce of energy they have hurling advice and judgment at those who dare greatly. Their only contributions are criticism, cynicism, and fearmongering. If you’re criticizing from a place where you’re not also putting yourself on the line, I’m not interested in what you have to say.”
