"Sometimes to lose balance for love is part of living a balanced life."
“You want to know your problem? Americans! You work too hard, you get burned out. Then you come home and spend the whole weekend in your PJs in front of the TV! … But you don’t know pleasure. You have to be told you’ve earned it. An Italian doesn’t need to be told.”
“Dolce far niente – the sweetness of doing nothing.”
“It feels like a precious wound, like a heartbreak you won’t let go of because it hurts too good. We all want things to stay the same, David; settle for living in misery because we’re afraid of change, of things crumbling to ruins. Then I looked around in this place [the augusteum], at the chaos its endured – the way it has been adapted, burned, pillaged and found a way to build itself back up again. And I was reassured that maybe my life hasn’t been so chaotic; tt’s just the world that is and the only real trap is getting attached to any of it. Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation… We must always be prepared for endless waves of transformation.Both of us deserve better than staying together because we’re afraid we’ll be destroyed if we don’t.“
