This is my favorite movie of all time:


I love movies by Fellini, but this is the best of them all because, at the end, she dances. I don’t want to say too much, but I wonder how many people who lived the life of Cabiria would find themselves dancing in the street in the end. I love her.

I had to recommend this:
The Book of Disquiet
by Fernando Pessoa
Just trust me. Buy it. It’s an amazing book comprised of papers from one of Pessoa’s alter egos. But, his observations on the world are amazingly accurate, amusing and moving.
