"To settle for surviving is the the worst mistake a man can do. Letting time go by without doing nothing to fill it and to make the most of it. The permanence of a human being on Earth is too fleeting to live with superficiality. This is the very goal of design: to exploit the power of beauty to enrich with flowers the bed of the river of life. This is what I set myself as a purpose: to pursue the beauty, the pleasingness for the eyes, the amazement that makes you smile, that throws a splash of colour in a cloudy gray day, that brings positive emotions only through the eyes."
