Quote by Giovanni Ragonesi

“Le cornici senza vetro dove ho iniziato ad appendere la mia collezione orologi vecchi; i primi due erano del nonno, a corda, col quadrante ingiallito e i numeri sottili; gli altri ho iniziato a comperarli dopo, per non lasciarli soli, spinto dalla convinzione che tutti gli oggetti meritano la chance di seconda vita, anche di una terza e, se si riesce, di una quarta, e sarebbe bello se la stessa chance venisse concessa anche a noi, perché una sola non basta mai.”

“Periclean Greeks employed the term idiotis, without any connotation of stupidity or subnormality, to mean simply 'a person indifferent to public affairs.' Obviously, there is something wanting in the apolitical personality. But we have also come to suspect the idiocy of politicization—of the professional pol and power broker. The two idiocies make a perfect match, with the apathy of the first permitting the depredations of the second.”

“I am a maid, My lord, that ne'er before invited eyes, But have been gazed on like a comet: she speaks, My lord, that, may be, hath endured a grief Might equal yours, if both were justly weigh'd. Though wayward fortune did malign my state, My derivation was from ancestors Who stood equivalent with mighty kings: But time hath rooted out my parentage, And to the world and awkward casualties Bound me in servitude. ~Marina, "Pericles”
