“A friend took me to the most amazing place the other day. It's called the Augusteum. Octavian Augustus built it to house his remains. When the barbarians came they trashed it a long with everything else. The great Augustus, Rome's first true great emperor. How could he have imagined that Rome, the whole world as far as he was concerned, would be in ruins. It's one of the quietest, loneliest places in Rome. The city has grown up around it over the centuries. It feels like a precious wound, a heartbreak you won't let go of because it hurts too good. We all want things to stay the same. Settle for living in misery because we're afraid of change, of things crumbling to ruins. Then I looked at around to this place, at the chaos it has endured - the way it has been adapted, burned, pillaged and found a way to build itself back up again. And I was reassured, maybe my life hasn't been so chaotic, it's just the world that is, and the real trap is getting attached to any of it. Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation.”

“Nadie dice que convertir a alguien en tu compañero de destino sea fácil, pero no hay otra alternativa que intentarlo, e intentarlo y volver a intentarlo.”

“Los celulares ayudan a estar conectados a los que están a distancia. Los celulares permiten a los que se conectan… mantenerse a distancia.”

“La cultura no puede convivir pacíficamente con la gestión, sobre todo, cuando ésta es molesta e insidiosa, y, más aún, cuando se trata de una gestión dedicada a distorsionar las ansias exploradoras/experimentadoras de la cultura para que encaje en el marco de la racionalidad dibujado por los gestores”
