I giovani sentono i dolori pi? acerbamente dei vecchi: per questi l'uscita di sicurezza ? pi? vicina.

The young feel sorrows much more sharply that the old; the latter are nearer the safety exit.

Io iudico bene questo, che sia meglio essere impetuoso che respettivo; perché la fortuna ? donna, et ? necessario, volendola tenere sotto, batterla et urtarla. E si vede che la si lascia pi? vincere da questi, che da quelli che freddamente procedano. E per? sempre, come donna, ? amica de' giovani, perché sono meno respettivi, pi? feroci e con pi? audacia la comandano.

per che di giugner lui ciascun contende.

The idea for this picture (‘Uscita dal teatro / Leaving the theatre’, ca 1910) came to me one winter’s night as I was leaving La Scala. In the foreground there is a snow sweeper with a few couples, men in top hats and elegant ladies. I think that this canvas, which is totally unknown in Italy, is one of the paintings where I best represented the concept that I had the time about my art.

"God does not think, He creates; He does not exist, He is eternal," wrote Kierkegaard (Afslutende uvidenskabelige Efterskrift); but perhaps it is more exact to say with Mazzini, the mystic of the Italian city, that "God is great because his thought is action" (Ai giovani d'Italila), because with Him to think is to create, and He gives existence to that which exists in His thought by the mere fact of thinking it, and the impossible is unthinkable by God. It is not written in the Scriptures that God creates with His word — that is to say, with His thought — and that by this, by His Word, He made everything that exists? And what God has once made does He ever forget? May it not be that all the thoughts that have ever passed through the Supreme Consciousness still subsist therein? In Him, who is eternal, is not all existence eternalized?
