Paulo Coelho | Il Gioco degli Dei... / The Game of the Gods

Gli Dei lanciano i dadi, ma non domandano se vogliamo partecipare al gioco.

Non vogliono sapere se hai lasciato un uomo, una casa, un lavoro, una carriera, un sogno.

Gli dei non badano al fatto che tu vuoi avere una vita in cui ogni cosa sia al proprio posto,

in cui ogni desiderio si possa esaudire con il lavoro e la pertinacia.

Thor Lindeneg - Danish Surrealist painter

Odilon Redon quotes: "True art lies in a reality that is felt"

• "Black is the most essential of all colors. Above all, if I may say so, it draws its excitement and vitality from deep and secret sources of health... One must admire black. Nothing can debauch it".

• "True art lies in a reality that is felt".
