“Queremos transformar o mundo e somos incapazes de nos transformar a nós próprios. Queremos ser livres, fazemos a nossa vontade, e a todo o momento arranjamos desculpas para reprimir os nossos desejos”

“Feliz ano novo de muitos voos, de fe, esperança e liberdade, com muitas viagens e sonhos, e muita musica e felicidade! Brilhando como estrelas no ceu, Jamais deixem morrer a bondade, Pois mais vale o fruto cheio de mel que favos recheados de maldade. Sejam singelos e misericordiosos. Vejam a leveza perante a gravidade. Procurem manter-se nao odiosos. Mais vale o amor que a falsidade. Que seja um ano repleto de bons frutos, Pois ja sofremos demais os nossos lutos.”

“For instance, Le Corbusier and Amedee Ozenfant proposed a theory of painting and architecture which would be based primarily on Platonic forms: cones, spheres, cylinders, cubes, etc. They argued that only these simple forms were universal, and that they would in fact set off "identical sensations" in "everyone on earth- a Frenchman, a Negro, a Laplander”. In essence they were arguing for a universal language of the emotions- Purisme which would cut through the Babel of contending, eclectic languages. The individual words of this language would be the psychophysical constants found by psychologists. A flat line would mean "repose," a blue color "sadness,'' a jagged, diagonal line "activity,'' and so on until the whole gamut of emotions” (82>83) had been built up. They argued, as Plato often did, that nature had constructed within us a fixed language based on efficiency, geometry and function; this language of the emotions was the most economical and pure one-hence Purisme.”
