“A volte uno si crede incompleto ed è soltanto giovane.”
― Italo Calvino, Il visconte dimezzato

“Receive without conceit, release without struggle.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“Sai cosa si fa quando non se ne può più? Si cambia.”
― Alberto Moravia, The Time of Indifference

“Beyond a certain speed, motorized vehicles create remoteness which they alone can shrink. They create distances for all and shrink them for only a few. A new dirt road through the wilderness brings the city within view, but not within reach, of most Brazilian subsistence farmers. The new expressway expands Chicago, but it sucks those who are well-wheeled away from a downtown that decays into a ghetto.”
― Ivan Illich, Energy and Equity
