SERENDIPITY ?

I just came across these photos. Serendipity? They were made in the Shakespeare & Company bookstore in Paris, if I remember correctly, in 2006. The quote painted on the wall appears to be a paraphrase of the Bible, although some say it comes from George Whitman, the store's former owner. "BE NOT INHOSPITABLE TO STRANGERS LEST THEY BE ANGELS IN DISGUISE" I do not know. In any case, with these pictures and this quote, I wish the readers of the Utisz Blog a blessed Christmas and a happy new year.

 

QUOTATION

"Есть вещи, которые я могу себе представить, и могу нарисовать. Есть вещи, которые я могу представить, но не могу нарисовать. Но есть ли что-то такое, что я могу нарисовать, но не могу себе представить? Вот этот вопрос меня очень интересует!"

(Иштван Орос)

"There are things I can imagine and I can draw. There are things I can imagine but I cannot draw. But, could I draw something that I cannot imagine? That interests me greatly."

(István Orosz)

 "Vannak dolgok, amiket el tudok képzelni és le tudok rajzolni. Vannak, amiket el tudok képzelni, de nem tudok lerajzolni. Vajon le tudok-e rajzolni valami olyat, amit nem tudok elképzelni? Ez az, ami igazán érdekel."

(Orosz István)
