CURRENT MISSION

"Improve my life skills" - "Noi siamo tutti viaggiatori e cerchiamo l'Italia" - Goethe in s(t)itu(t)

ABOUT ME

Keen on culture, sport, excursions (cities or nature: mountains, bathing in natural lakes/seas/oceans).

On your own it's fine. Sharing with relatives, friends and travelers it's finer.

Woody Allen's elegant humor : Staline (actually) said "No human being, no problem" (niet cilawiek, niet prablem).

PHILOSOPHY

in joy we trust - Finding bEAuTy (title of a song by Craig Armstrong), GoOD, well in a word: QUaLitY
(not too naïve though..)

Inspiring authors: in PSYCHOLOGY, Françoise Dolto (+ the big Freud and Jung, but not really read them yet.. not very accessible, also because not contemporary, Dolto is easy-readable).
In litterature, Marguerite Yourcenar, Marcel Proust (can be loong and boring sometimes, but his theories and comparisons are really worth reading).

"Je ne veux pas dire que j'aie toujours eu l'obsession du bien. Il y a eu des périodes de ma vie où j'ai eu l'obession du beau - ou l'obsession du vrai, - ou l'obsession de l'exquis, - ou l'obsession de la vitalité pure et simple" Montherlant
