Dharma

“Il vero viaggio di scoperta non consiste nel trovare nuovi territori, ma nel possedere altri occhi, vedere l’universo attraverso gli occhi di un altro, di centinaia d’altri: di osservare il centinaio di universi che ciascuno di loro osserva, che ciascuno di loro è.”

MARCEL PROUST

“Non giudicare sbagliato ciò che non conosci, prendi l’occasione per comprendere.”

PABLO PICASSO

“Quando si avvicina uno straniero e noi lo confondiamo con un nostro fratello, ponendo fine a ogni conflitto. Ecco, questo è il momento in cui finisce la notte e comincia il giorno.”
