Walking in the gap

“We don´t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing”

People should regard their words as seeds. They should sow them, and then allow them to grow in silence. Our elders taught us that the earth is always talking to us, but we should keep silent in order to hear her.

Lo primero, la bondad; lo segundo, el talento. Y aquí termina el cuento

He who walks a league without love, walks shrouded in his own funeral.

La primera tarea de la educación es agitar la vida, pero dejarla libre para que se desarrolle

“Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again”

Art is what attention makes with nature

“I confront the city with my body; my legs measure the length of the arcade and the width of the square; my gaze unconsciously projects my body onto the facade of the cathedral, where it roams over the moldings and contours, sensing the size of recesses and projections:”

“What I take with me, what I leave behind, are of less importance
than what I discover along the way.”

“The Traveler is the ultimate hero on a solo journey of self discovery.”

“Belief is an openness to accept a possibility”

To write is also not to speak. It is to keep silent. It is to howl noiselessly.

“When you move in space you move in time.”

“whoever losts time gains space”

“What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life. That art is something which is specialized or which is done by experts who are amsts. But couldn’t everyone’s life become a work of art? Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life?”

“Es importante recuperar la importancia de todas esas actividades (paritarias) en la arqueología. Porque legitimará un presente diferente.”

Andar no es solo mirar: también es escuchar, en cualquier lugar concreto, a quienes viven y conocen la ciudad

Art is what makes life more interesting than art.

If you are more fortunate than others, build a longer table not a taller fence.

“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”

“Forget border – they´re only for politicians to use for their nationalistic approaches. Otherwise, in business or in art, they don´t exist.”

“Every sphere of human activity, even peeling a potato can be a work of art as long as it is a conscious act.”

“The City is thus a sheepfold superimposed over a Garden.”

“The greatest happiness is the contact between our essence and eternal essence”

I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don’t have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.

“Conceptual artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach”

“He who does not travel does not know the value of men.”

“Those who observe from a distance are not involved.”

“Sólo el que sabe es libre y más libre el que más sabe. No proclaméis la libertad de volar, sino dad alas”

“The only important thing about design is how it relates to people.”
