“The origin of storms is not in clouds,
our lightning strikes when the earth rises,
spillways free authentic power:

to break the armored and concluded mind.”

“The reason American cars don’t sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That’s why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.”
—Karl Lagerfeld (b. 1938)
