“In old age we should wish still to have passions strong enough to prevent us turning in on ourselves. One’s life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation, compassion.” —Simone de Beauvoir

[Lisa Leeman @lisalmn]

a dream. “it feels like we are a poorer country if we don’t support arts,” says Dyekær. “It’s very important because artists and art pieces can help us understand the world we’re living in… We know that if we don’t produce documentaries, we will lose a very important window”

[Lisa Leeman @lisalmn]

Love this. For all of us.
