Across Quote by Diego Giacometti
“We see parts of each other, and we put them together. But if I want to see you in totality, you need to move away; we need space between us. Across the street ,I can see all of you at once, but then I also see this huge vista of space surrounding you, coming in and compressing you.”
About This Quote

In simple terms: Space helps us see others more completely.
