Sandro Calvani

Web Agency Torino
In some sense man is a microcosm of the universe; therefore what man is, is a clue to the universe. We are enfolded in the universe. American Quantum Physicist David Bohm * * * WHAT IS SUCCESS IN LIFE? "[…] To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition […] This is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-82 * * * The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark. Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475 – 1564)
