People From Milan

"In reality, the Castiglioni brothers were one person. Symbiosis of thought, creative ability, inspiration and execution were an integral part of their being. Talking to one of them or all three of them was the same, they were completely interchangeable, same voice, same accent, same grin, same laughter, same gestures. They were the Castiglioni, like their work, indivisible fruit of the same research, of the same passion, of a great ability to transform the world around us into a new memorable gesture. (Translated from the original Italian)"

"I think it [The W Series] will be a revolution and I am sure that thanks to F1, it will show more people the female talent we have. It will show that it’s perfectly normal and that girls are just as competitive as men. At the moment, it is irrelevant to me whether I race against men or women or both. Nothing changes for me."

"I believe that the obligation of each of us must be to offer our neighbor a perspective that is not political. Here in Karaganda there are people of 130 different nationalities: if each of us judged the other on the basis of our own nationality, there would be no peaceful coexistence. As Christians we need to understand what unites us: certainly not nationality, because we are different, but Jesus Christ who is among us unites us. Of course there are divisions and differences, but if we start from these, we will no longer be able to look each other in the eye."

"The foundations of the future Catholic Church were laid with the active participation of the faithful: in fact, everyone took part in the construction of the temple, from the smallest to the oldest, including the disabled and the sick. Furthermore, when they returned to their historical homeland, hundreds of former local parishioners brought new life to the life of the Church in Germany, Poland and other countries. As in the first centuries, the sufferings and blood shed by these Catholics multiplied the number of Christians, giving life to this Church."

"Every Christian community is legitimated the moment it feels the weight, responsibility and apostolic impulse which throb and pulse in the heart of the one Bride of the Lord; every Christian community - within its possibilities - must strive to respond to this ineluctable prompting. This is particularly true with regard to the command to evangelise, in the most intense acceptation of the term."

"The concept seemed ambiguous to me, and the emphasis with which "pastorality" was attributed to the current Council was somewhat suspect: was it not meant to implicitly say that the previous Councils did not intend to be "pastoral" or had not been pastoral enough? Had it not had pastoral relevance to make it clear that Jesus of Nazareth was God and consubstantial with the Father, as defined at Nicaea? Had it not had pastoral relevance to clarify the realism of the Eucharistic presence and the sacrificial nature of the Mass, as had been done at Trent?. There was a danger of no longer remembering that the first and irreplaceable mercy for lost humanity is, according to the clear teaching of Revelation, the mercy of truth, a mercy that cannot be exercised without the explicit, firm, constant condemnation of every misrepresentation and every alteration of the deposit of faith, which must be preserved. St Thomas Aquinas noted this in the 'Summa contra Gentiles' (I, 2): the task of theology is to "manifest the truth professed by the Catholic faith, eliminating errors contrary to it"."

"Christianity has an admirable example of the natural union between faith and freedom in Dante Alighieri. Precisely his undoubted adherence to Catholic truth allows and illuminates his perfect autonomy of judgement, free from any fear or human conditioning. Dante is not afraid to criticize the work of the popes and their operational choices, to the point of placing several of them in the depths of hell. But in him "the reverence of the supreme keys" never diminishes and never diminishes in the slightest (Inf. XIX, 101). When it comes to expressing reservations or criticisms that he considers due, there are no discounts neither for lay people, nor for ecclesiastics, nor for monarchs, nor for ordinary citizens... all of whom are required, without exception, to abide by the law evangelical."

"Christmas is not only the telling of what has been; it is perception of what is. It is not only perception of a circumscribed and datable episode; it is savoring of a perennial and universally effective actuality; it is exultation over a richness that is given to us. The annotation that Christmas is after all a birthday would be enough to convince us of this. Now birthdays are for living men. For the dead-even if they are great and very famous-at most, centenarians are remembered. So to celebrate Christmas every year is to express the certainty that Jesus of Nazareth-that child born two thousand years ago in a stable-is a living person: he is really, truly, physically alive; he is still the principle of salvation for us; he is still the center of our every existence and of the whole of history."

"The believer knows that chastity is not the ridiculous mania of complex people, but it is the ability to lord it over our bodies with the help of grace so that we can meekly enter, each according to his or her condition, into God's loving plan."

"[Solov'ëv was] Passionate defender of man and allergic to all philanthropy; tireless apostle of peace and opponent of pacifism; proponent of unity among Christians and critic of all irenicism; in love with nature and far removed from today's ecological infatuations: in a word, friend of truth and enemy of ideology. It is precisely guides like him that we sorely need today."

"It is prophesied that the Antichrist will present himself to the whole of humanity like a pacifist, animalist, ecologist, vegetarian, ecumenist, biblical exegete, philanthropist, as a person who has faith in the progress of science and in universal forgiveness."

"A divided Church is against the will of Jesus Christ and is anti-missionary and anti-evangelizing. We should use every means possible, such as prayer, to fulfill Jesus' will. Loving the Church, for priests, means realizing that this is not going well. We need to maintain Christ's spirit and bear witness to unity."

"If I knew with moral certitude that this is a sin, maybe I would not have put myself in that condition. But now I already find myself there: How can I go back? It is one thing to begin, another to interrupt."

"To find a way through dialogue the answer to the legitimate aspirations of the people of Syria in a way which also gives guarantees to all its components for a better society. Of course the situation in Syria depends also on the balance of powers in the region and the good will of the international community as a whole. We know that there is a new distribution of powers in this region and so if there is not the presence of all the actors internationally, regionally and locally, there will be no answer to the situation in Syria."

"The Eclissi lamp. He called it concept design, a design so clear and simple it could even be explained in words, over the phone. Vico said he had learned from Latin to recognize the superfluous from the necessary, the indispensable and the useless. And when you design an object, he repeated, you have to know how to recognize what is indispensable. (Ernesto Gismondi)"

"About the Chimera Lamp. All my sketches testify to the attempt to give my drawing the task, from its very first formulation, to illustrate the meaning, the soul, that my proposal would like to express, suggesting the technical means and the definitions of the materials necessary for a economic and correct implementation of series production. Therefore, for me, drawing is not reproducing the object in all its morphological and technical details but it is a means of digging deeper and deeper into, to find and express the soul, the essence of the object, or rather the other possible one. reality that exists behind visible reality (look at usual things with unusual eyes). This is, for me, design, and is expressed by sketching. “Ceci n'est pas une pipe” writes René Magritte by way of one of his paintings representing a pipe. Even in design, looking behind the pipe, perhaps there is another thing."

"Design is a conceptual process that can be communicated over the telephone. About Chimera Lamp. A very simple geometric shape with three cylinders in semi-transparent plastic material. I remember having described it over the telephone without any drawing. Geometry and an extremely simple communication system. After about ten days, I was brought the lamp to my studio."

"They told me: architect, we need to design a night lamp because everyone goes to bed. And I thought of the blind lantern used by thieves in Victor Hugo's The Miserable."

"The Eclisse lamp is beautiful to look at because the concepts are in themselves beautiful."

"Tiziano Crudeli: C'è qui una persona che vuole salutare- Fabio Ravezzani: Elio Corno- Mauro Suma: La stiamo vincendo, la stiamo vincendo, e consiglio ai gufi di cambiar- [Interference during the call] Perdonami Fabio, scusami, ne abbiamo subite tante fino adesso, non è ancora finita, speriamo bene, ma adesso la stiamo vincendo noi, speriamo bene! Ravezzani: [Wrongly attributing the voice to Milan supporter and commentator Carlo Pellegatti] Questo è Pellegatti! Questo è il mitico Pellegatti! Vedo Scarpini che ride! Suma: Scarpini! Scarpini! Scarpini! Roberto Scarpini: Eccallà! Lo sai che però non è finita però ancora eh! Quindi tieni i tuoi amuleti lì... Ravezzani: [Correcting himself for the previous voice attribution] Ma questo è Suma! Suma: Vai a La Coruña, Scarpini! Vai a La Coruña, Scarpini! Vai a La Coruña! Scarpini: Voi ci siete già andati e avete lasciato come si dice! Suma: Fabio ci sentiamo dopo, speriamo bene, non è ancora finita, speriamo bene!"

"Il Milan tenta di venire avanti ancora con Pegaso, il Cavallo Alato Rossonero, sulla fascia di destra! È proprio Cafu che cerca di darla in mezzo!

"Che bello quando vengono questi gol! 1-2-3, 1-2-3! È un'azione bellissima, il gol dei ragazzi! Jon Dahl Tomasson! Che azione, che azione! Subito al Musée d'Orsay, prendi la registrazione, Claudio Lippi! Tiziana, porta - prendi il primo aereo per Parigi, è da mettere al Louvre! Signori, Monet non può far meglio! Che azione!

"Ho tanti dubbi sulla posizione di partenza di Tevez... ho tanti dubbi sulla posizione di partenza di Tevez... ho tanti dubbi... almeno cosi avanti... ho tanti dubbi sulla posizione... tanto così... ho tanti dubbi sulla posizione di Tevez... è sempre così!"

"Pellegatti: Carlo, ehm... (in German) du hast trainiert in viele- Ancelotti: No, grande! Parli tedesco!"

"Pellegatti: Buongiorno! Ibrahimovic: Come va cavallo? Pellegatti: Allora, il mio cavallo, Ibra Supremacy, andava così forte che tu a piedi lo battevi. Ibrahimovic: Dovevi prendere me! Pellegatti: Esatto!"

"C'è un solo allenatore in piedi, c'è un solo allenatore in piedi! È il nostro! C'è un solo allenatore in piedi! Si chiama Massimiliano, il suo cognome è Allegri! Ce n'è solo uno in piedi! Allenava l'Aglianese, sì e allora?! Problemi?! Problemi?!"

"Fate entrare Yepes! Fate entrare Yepes! Non entra Yepes, perché non entra Yepes? Perché non entra Yepes? Perché non entra Yepes? (...) Facciamo entrare Yepes, ragazzi, vi prego?! Sono in preda a un delirio, lo so, però io- però io lo voglio! (...) Ma perché non entra Yepes, perché? (...) Mi fate entrare- vi prego una cosa voglio nella vita d'ora in poi: l'ingresso in campo di Mario Yepes, posso? (...) L'arbitro non dà l'ok, perché non deve dare l'ok?"

"Gol! Gol! Gol! Sulley! Sulley! (Noticing that the goal was not convalidated) Cos'è? Ma non era gol? Ma non era gol? È ripartita la Juve in contropiede... (After watching the replay) Era gol!

"Voglio morire in questo momento, voglio morire adesso, senza pietà... Uscita a vuoto di Donnarumma, gol di Icardi... Voglio morire adesso... Una roba pazzesca, una roba che ci perseguiterà per tutta la stagione, Dio mio! Dal nulla, questi cavano fuori gol dal nulla... Danno una pesciata al pallone e noi poi svolazziamo per- svolazziamo per niente... Incredibile, incredibile! Sono incazzato come una bestia rara! Guarda che cosa facciamo... guarda, palla nostra, in con- guarda che cosa gli regaliamo... È tutto il campionato che regaliamo gol, e questo è il più crudele, il più brutto, il più beffardo...

"Suma: Pronto? A TV viewer: Faccia da pirla! Suma: Chi è? Beh c'è chi si esprime- probabilmente era una telefonata non- interna, al nostro interno, qualche scherzo."

"Suma: Ciao Paolo, ciao Umberto, ciao a tutti voi che siete in studio! Qui a S.Siro fa freddo, ma doppio- Mosca: Cerca e ricerca- Ciao Mauro! Suma: Ciao Maurizio!

"The more Eucharist we receive, the more we will become like Jesus, so that on this earth we will have a foretaste of Heaven."

"The beatification of [arlo Acutis, son of Lombardy and lover of the land of Francis of Assisi, is good news, a powerful announcement that a young man of our time, one like many others, was won over by Christ and became a beacon of light for all those who want to know him and follow his example. His life is a model especially for young people, not to find gratification only in ephemeral successes, but in the perennial values that Jesus suggests in the Gospel, namely: putting God first, in the big and small circumstances of life, and serving our brothers and sisters, especially the least among us."

"He represents a model of strength, alien to any form of compromise, aware that, in order to remain in Jesus' love, it is necessary to live the Gospel in a concrete way, even at the cost of going against the tide."

"He rode around on a broken bicycle, never talked about himself, and when I wanted to buy him an extra pair of shoes, he would reply, “What do I need them for?” [...] [About poor people] He knew them by name, he says, and brought them sleeping bags, blankets, clothes, and hot meals."

"This boy from Milan, who chose Assisi as his favorite place, understood, also following in the footsteps of St. Francis, that God must be at the center of everything"

"Acutis expressed a traditional form of Catholicism and was a staunch believer in transubstantiation. He recognized that many—even among Catholics—do not accept this doctrine and regard the Eucharist as merely symbolic. To counter this skepticism, he dedicated time to documenting miracles related to transubstantiation and sharing them through his blog. …I am unsure if the crowds of young people visiting his grave or who went to Rome for his (later postponed) share his belief in transubstantiation. Nevertheless, they find Acutis more intriguing and engaging than his liberal Catholic or secular critics."

"Carlo strove to document the feat Of God’s disclosures visibly surprising Men capable of honest sympathizing."

"You know, to live close to someone like Carlo means to not remain neutral in your own faith. For me, Carlo brought me closer to God. He would ask questions that I would not know the answer to, especially in my own lack of catechism. So I turned to learning more about my faith, and this was because of Carlo. Many other people would witness to this, as well: people who converted because of his example, or his conversations. He really lived what he preached, a witness."

"Everyone is born original, but many die as photocopies."

"You go straight to Heaven if you receive the Eucharist every day."

"To always be close to Jesus, that’s my life plan."

"Your personal mission, your strength and your bravery are a role model for us in Israel and for Jewish communities around the world."

"Every minute of our life must be lived to the full – whether enjoyed or suffered. We must study, see the good around us, and fight the bad, and not waste time writing to a 90-year-old woman to tell her you wish she’d die. Besides, nature will take care of that."

"Nel mondo reale il pericolo principale non è rappresentato dalle forze della natura, ma [...] dalla violenza dell'attuale globalizzazione neoliberista. Anzi la natura stessa è vittima di questo processo se è vero, come ricorda il biologo Edward O. Wilson, che le specie stanno scomparendo con una velocità di tre all'ora."

"Il ragazzo morto non era uno dei nostri, era un black block."

"L'importante è che la morte ci trovi vivi."

"Si direbbe che Kodra tra le sfaccettature del tardo cubismo del primo dopoguerra, abbbia rintracciato le scaglie luminose dei vecchi mosaici bizzantini. I bagliori delle antiche moschee e le favolosità dei pastori bivaccano su le pendici dell'Olimpo."
