The multiplication and the unpredictability of many recent events are experienced as a shock because they were previously exceptional in our present society. By upsetting our dailies and naivety, they make us open our eyes to the darkness of the world. The seriousness of the acts and the acts committed, as close to us as elsewhere in the world, have given rise to a multitude of mixed feelings but also a great difficulty in expressing them by fear but also by concern not to fall into stigmatization.

 

The struggle for freedom of expression has re-emerged stronger, but in the current context it is a very fragile notion and sometimes we have to find subterfuge in order to express what we want.

 

Therefore, for the series of "precious quotations" a code has been created so as to mask the message and make it appear as a simple artistic effect. Each of the phrases quoted expresses thoughts of famous people of all periods and places giving hope to mankind or, on the contrary, opening their eyes to it.

 

The message emerges from a dark background like a precious metal, with its imperfections and defects, for these phrases are like a gleam of common sense trying to extricate themselves from the darkness of the world.
