“Our tragedy is their beauty. Our pain is their art. The beatific bereavement that is our life captured on a canvas for all the world to see.”
“Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only the question: When will I be blown up?

We leave them all alone in rooms with the lights out and tell them, 'Go to sleep by yourselves.' And the old people we respect most are the ones who will fight for their independence, who would sooner starve to death than ask for help.”
“Our treatment of others is an introduction of ourselves. Communication, or any sort of interaction, is an outward expression, an emanation of one’s predominant energy. The emittance, or radiation density, varies for each individual.
Thoughts are a commotion, a whirl, of all the possibilities of outward expression.
Communication is an expression of a direction. An abstract exploration, a dance, of these energies.
Actions are an implemented energy. That is why they have more power than thoughts or words. An action is an affirmation — a confirmed expression — thus, manifesting the chosen direction and declaring it by way of perceivable reality.”

Most nonnas, Nonna Bruna included, firmly believe that there is almost nothing that cannot be solved or at least improved with the application of a little good-quality olive oil. We all grow up with philosophy. Our veins all run with the precious, pale gold.”
