Discovery Quote by Santiago Calatrava

“Something that's very important is to preserve the sense of surprise, the sense of discovery. The eye of the person you are talking to, your shadow on the ground. It's important not to get suffocated by all the things in life and lose that sense of surprise.” quote by Santiago Calatrava — Download Open image
