Italo Calvino

Humanity reaches as far as love reaches; it has no frontiers except those we give it.

About Me

"You ask me for a biographical note?something that always embarrasses me. Biographical data, even those recorded in the public registers, are the most private things one has, and to declare them openly is rather like facing a psychoanalyst. At least I imagine so: I have never had myself psychoanalyzed." --from "By Way of an Autobiography"
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM
