Quote by Michal Rovner

“Panorama is the first word for landscape in Greek. It was about [how today] we see everything, we get to see everything, everything is shown to you whether you want it or not, but all of the time you only see fragments of reality. The big picture we really don't see; it's kind of hard to make it up.”

Between themselves, they smell each other, but there is this thing of hiding, of suspicion.”
