“the era of artificial intelligence, we cannot forget that poetry and love are indispensable in order to save humanity. They are like childhood, the salt of the earth: that if it loses its flavor—as a French writer warned—the world will be nothing but putrefaction and canker. When the individuality of the heart is not appreciated, we lose the answers that intelligence alone cannot give, we lose the encounter with others, and we lose history and our histories, because the real personal adventure is that which is accomplished from the heart. At the end of life, all that matters will be this. —”
