This Non-Future We're Living In

"Will we have anything left after all this, these days, this non-future which we live in? (...) Well, everything would be easier if I had a degree, a driver to drive my car, and always wore ties. Sometimes I do, but it is different to wear a tie on the neck and to use it on the head. It happened from the moment I lost track of my values. All my values were gone, right in front of me. The money is spent, the body is spent. The memory. (...) It does not attract me to be a banker, having money. There are different people. I am Attracted by the other side of life, the other side of the sea, something perfect, a day that has one morning with much dew, frost remains ... Other than that, I have no major projects. I think that the planet is lost and probably Antonio Jose Saraiva's hypothesis is right: It is better for this to deteriorate a little more, so that people get more time to look to one another." Al Berto, interview in "Ler" magazine (1989)
