“When I start a project, I enter the building and I say, OK, I respect you but I’m not going to restore you. Because restoration is a lie. You cannot restore anything. It pertains to another decade, another way of thinking. Don’t recreate the past - honour the past but look to the future. Nostalgia for me is really sad. Vintage things are for young people. People tend to romanticise the world that they don’t live in. It’s strange: nostalgia for me is a kind of poison for the soul.” —FACUNDO GUERRA

There is a nuance of arrogance in intelligence.

I need to be threatened, clinging to a strand of hope, just because pressure will reward a great privilege. There are great stories out there validating the existence of human’s horrible despair and every time I read them, it is as if I’m having an out-of-body experience living vicariously as the beaten. Perhaps it takes lethal threat to our safe room to feel alive and thrive.

“Every day, we’re told about the economic situation in China, the financial crisis in Europe, or that we need bigger cars and TVs or more Facebook friends. To make yourself happy, you should get away from all this pressure and focus on the fundamental, simple, positive things — the sensual beauty of the world around us.” — NICK BAYLIS

Push me to the edge, give me a hand of the deceit

You’re the lover of God when I will always be the devil’s favorite skank

Bathe me in a cursed water

My cursed blood is yours too
