Credo nell'esperienza come sola forma ragionevole
di conoscenza, ma so di essere come una rana in fondo a un pozzo,
ignara delle profondità infinite di oceani e universi.
So che l'unico, imperfetto, fallace e limitato telescopio è
quello del cuore che, dove l'occhio limitato della mente non riesce
ad arrivare, può solo immaginare e sentire.
I like the border zone where day and night fade into each other,
colours are added to colours, sounds dim, where forms overlap
and the rays rejoin the centre and movement meets quietness.
I like not only paradox, oxymoron, the union of the opposites,
but also their struggle. I like harmony and screeching, Classicism
and Hellenism, Zen and Baroque, abstinence and excess, the hand
and the machine.
Poor, trivial and popular images move me, as do the most elegant
Ottoman miniatures.
I like to contemplate the world as a screen on which I project
the ghosts of my mythologies. Contrarily, to erase myself to become
the screen on which the world reflects itself.

I believe that experience is the only reasonable form of knowledge,
but I know that I am like a frog in a well , unaware of the endless
depths of oceans and universes.
I know that the only defective, fallacious and limited telescope
is that of the heart. The mind's limited eye rarely succeeds in
reaching that place, one in which you can only truly imagine and
feel.
