In this sense, it is possible to say that science, utopia and revolution are all animated by a deeply religious view of time and history, where what was announced at the beginning is ultimately realised.

More quotes by Umberto Galimberti

Love fades because nothing remains the same over time.

If the need to reassure one's own intrinsic insecurity generates fidelity, the need not to lose oneself in the other generates betrayal.

From being a centre of symbolic radiation in primitive communities, the body has become in the West the negative of every “value” that knowledge, with the faithful complicity of power, has accumulated.

Perhaps there is nothing behind life as a couple, and this hidden nothingness arouses that infinite curiosity that makes each of us tireless seekers of love, almost always oblivious to the fact that every event of love is always decreed by heaven.

It is easy to say “love”. But only the Devil knows what lies beneath this word.
