soccer real war
Soccer, metaphor for war, at times turns into real war.
heart writing reality
Reality is very, very contradictory, and so I try to write just perfecting what I see, what I read, what I feel, in a feel-thinking way. Not only giving ideas, or receiving ideas, or trying to explain something, but mainly feel-thinking, a feel-thinking language able to tie the heart and the mind, which have been divorced.
reality destiny answers
Indignation must always be the answer to indignity. Reality is not destiny.
dream real writing
Reality is a magic lady, sometimes very mysterious. To me she is very passionate. She is real not only when she is awake, walking down the streets, but also at night when she is dreaming or when she is having nightmares. When I am writing, I am always paying tribute to her - to that lady called Reality.
real thinking feelings
My language is a feel-thinking language, feeling and thinking at once, that is why it is a celebration of life, and at once it is a denunciation of everything that is not allowed in life to be real life, it's plenitude.
owners
From their castle in Zurich, the owners of soccer do not propose, they impose. That's their way.
believe people answers
We live in a world that treats the dead better than the living. We, the living are askers of questions and givers of answers, and we have other grave defects unpardonable by a system that believes death, like money, improves people.
moving god-love
A pretty move, for the love of God.
latin known
We Latins are known for jabbering on.
prehistoric
I am quite prehistoric, absolutely prehistoric.
soccer sports running
The fiesta of soccer, a feast for the legs that play and the eyes that watch, is much more than a big business run by overlords from Switzerland. The most popular sport in the world wants to serve the people who embrace it.
information purpose torture
The purpose of torture is not getting information. It's spreading fear.
charity helping solidarity
Charity, vertical, humiliates. Solidarity, horizontal, helps.
thinking messi
I like Messi because he doesn't think he is Messi.
