Alessandro Baronciani
“We should always strive to understand what makes us feel bad... before we feel bad, if possible. As well as what makes us feel good... although that could be the hardest thing of all.”
― Alessandro Baronciani, When Everything Turned Blue

C.G. Jung
“Probably, as in all metaphysical questions, both are true: Life is or has meaning and meaninglessness. I cherish the anxious
hope that meaning will preponderate and win the battle.”
― C.G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections
