Quotes by Grazia Verasani: Bologna maintains mysteries and has its own very metaphysical atmosphere despite being an earthly city.

I know mature women, with multiple degrees, who take continuous injections of botulinum. Another own goal. The more society wants us to be young and desirable, the more we acclimatise to a market demand where looking our best is a guarantee of "being loved". What a mistake... But I put a lot of trust in male intelligence, the kind that chooses companions of the same age, that prefers personality (charm) to a smoothness (whether fake or authentic) without character. In ancient times, streets were called "wrinkles". Isn't it wonderful? In this image there is all the crossing, the transit, of those who have walked, generation after generation, on the earth.
