    Let’s join hands and pray in this spirit together… This way a lot more things like that can be done in 2017.

    «I believe in the power of the imagination to remake the world, to release the truth within us, to hold back the night, to transcend death, to charm motorways, to ingratiate ourselves with birds, to enlist the confidences of madmen.
    I believe in my own obsessions…
