Rebellious passion
"The student is always a rebel. One who stands on another side from the world and, in his own way, counteracts its rush. One who studies stops and stands: thus, he makes himself subversive and contrary. Perhaps, behind it, there is always a dissatisfaction: of self, or of the world. But it is never an escape. It is only a silent and, today more than ever, invisible rebellion. To all invisible rebels this book is dedicated." Today there is no more studying. It is predestined for defeat. Study evokes Leopardi who loses his youth, ruins his health and is left alone like a dog. It is Pinocchio selling books to go see puppets. It is school, adolescence with pimples, fatigue, boredom, duty. It is a shadow that darkens the world, it is a crack on the wall: it cracks and abates our gaudy, crowded will to live in the present. The study has disappeared from our lives. And with it has disappeared the pleasure in doing things without thinking about what they are for. The most incredible thing is that no one cares.
