Design Quote by Alice Rohrwacher
“I don't belong to any religion, but I like knowing and thinking that my life is connected to the life of the world - so not thinking only of myself, but rather thinking of myself within a greater design. Perhaps this is a religious gaze, but it belongs to an anarchic religion that has no ties with any institution.”
