Quotes by Nuccio Ordine (?)

“Las escuelas y las universidades no pueden manejarse como empresas. Contrariamente a lo que pretenden enseñarnos las leyes dominantes del mercado y del comercio, la esencia de la cultura se funda exclusivamente en la gratuidad: la gran tradición de las academias europeas y de anti guas instituciones como el Collège de France, [...]nos recuerda que el estudio es en primer lugar adquisición de conocimientos que, sin vínculo utilitarista alguno, nos hacen crecer y nos vuelven más autónomos.”
― Nuccio Ordine, La utilidad de lo inútil: Manifiesto

“El cultivo de lo superfluo y de lo que no supone beneficio puede de todos modos ayudarnos a resistir, a mantener viva la esperanza, a entrever el rayo de la luz que nos permitirá recorrer un camino decoroso.”
― Nuccio Ordine, La utilidad de lo inútil: Manifiesto

“Fa male vedere uomini e donne impegnati in una folle corsa verso la terra promessa del guadagno, dove tutto ciò che li circonda – la natura, gli oggetti, gli altri esseri umani – non suscita alcun interesse.”
― Nuccio Ordine, L'utilità dell'inutile: Manifesto
