Today's quote was picked for two reasons. One, with all the news about the cruise shipping running aground in Italy, I wanted to find an Italian author. And two, with all the remakes Hollywood and other art institutions keep creating, I wanted to find a quote that showed frustration there. I did not expect to find something from a poet who wrote in the early part of the 1800's.
“There are some centuries which - apart from everything else - in the art and other disciplines presume to remake everything because they know how to make nothing.” - Giacomo Leopardi
What remakes have you heard about or seen that you cannot believe?
