Quote by Luigi Pirandello

“Estatico, cadde a sedere sul suo carico, davanti alla buca. Eccola, eccola là, eccola là, la Luna... C'era la Luna! La Luna! E Ciàula si mise a piangere, senza saperlo, senza volerlo, dal gran conforto, dalla grande dolcezza che sentiva, nell'averla scoperta, là, mentr'ella saliva pel cielo, la Luna, col suo ampio velo di luce ignara dei monti, dei piani, delle valli che rischiarava, ignara di lui, che pure per lei non aveva più paura, né si sentiva più stanco, nella notte ora piena del suo stupore.”

“El que ha nacido, crecido o vivido en una cuenca minera sabe bien lo que significa. Sabe que la dureza del trabajo y la pérdida de vidas se viven en carne propia. Sabe qué supone la minería para los pueblos y el paisaje, para bien y para mal. La vida en las cuencas mineras tiene un espíritu común muy poco común en otros territorios. Mirar hacia delante no es olvidar el camino, pero sólo se avanza en una dirección.”

“The most disappointing of the jobs I had was the ‘Green’ solar photovoltaic industry. I had three jobs in the field. Two of them had a constant pressure to work very long hours. I remember my neighbor commenting that he would see me leave for work in the dark and come home in the dark! One of the jobs had completely overloaded me with the work of many workers and refused my daily requests for more staff! I left the ‘Green’ industry and have never pursued another job in it.”
