No one and nothing outside of you can give you salvation, or free you from the misery. You have to light your own lamp. You have to know the miniature universe that you yourself are.

– Banani Ray –

Ph : Peter Lindbergh

In the morning stillness, when the world is just waking up and your conscious mind hasn’t fully taken over, you may feel a connection or passageway to another world, and a feeling that something is about to happen in yours. It’s like a quiet storm is coming. You can feel the distant rumble of thunder on the horizon, yet you have no idea of the deluge your life is about to experience.

– Padma Lakshmi –

It was the hour in which objects lose the consistency of shadow that accompanies them during the night and gradually reacquire colors, but seem to cross meanwhile an uncertain limbo, faintly touched, just breathed on by light; the hour in which one is least certain of the world’s existence.

– Italo Calvino –

Ph : Paolo Roversi
