Jean Rostand

Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued.

It takes a very deep-rooted opinion to survive unexpressed.

We spend our time envying people whom we wouldn't wish to be.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

Fame is like the dessert that comes with your achievements - it's not an achievement in itself, but sometimes it can overpower the work.

I don't like creating software anymore. It's too exact. It's like karate; there's no room for error.
