noite de citações

Leitores,

"In today’s world, the production of sincerity and trust has become everyone’s occupation—and yet it was, and still is, the main occupation of art throughout the whole history of modernity.

Pedaço nº2

Pedaço nº4 (para aguçar a curiosidade)
"Where we once had nature and God, we now have design and conspiracy theory.

O resto está aqui. Ide ler!
