Il mestiere di fotografo viaggiatore è fantastico. Permette di avvicinarsi ai propri sogni, di percorrere tutto il pianeta, di incrociare persone incredibili, di vivere mille vite diverse, di realizzarsi e di trasmettere la propria esperienza, con gli occhi lucidi, a ogni ritorno. E' un lavoro gratificante, che coniuga il vissuto e la condivisione, l'interiorità e la socialità.

one of the more unfortunate side effects is that much apologetics has lost touch with evangelism and come to be all about "arguments," and in particular about winning arguments rather than winning hearts and minds and people. Our urgent need today is to reunite evangelism and apologetics, to make sure that our best arguments are directed toward winning people and not just winning arguments, and to seek to do all this in a manner that is true to the gospel itself.
~ Os Guinness
Love is "the alpha and the omega of apologetics," in the sense that all we say must come from love, and it must lead to love and to the One who is love—in other words, Christian advocacy must move from our love for God and his truth and beauty, to our love for the people we talk to and work right up to their love for God and his truth and beauty in their turn.

Unhappiness. There are all kinds of unhappy people in the world. I suppose it would be no exaggeration to say that the world is composed entirely of unhappy people.

My unhappiness stemmed entirely from my own vices, and I had no way of fighting anybody.
