“T’insegneranno a non splendere. E tu splendi, invece.”
― Pier Paolo Pasolini

“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“Making love with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two separate passions, not merely different but opposite. Love does not make itself felt in the desire for copulation (a desire that extends to an infinite number of women) but in the desire for shared sleep (a desire limited to one woman).”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“In the presence of greatness, pettiness disappears. In the absence of a great dream, pettiness prevails.”
― Peter M. Senge, The Fifth Discipline: The Art & Practice of The Learning Organization
