“My life has something legendary about it-even as a boy, I’ve always seen myself … a bit later… I don’t know if it’s good or not, but it’s something legendary. My life is small, but a bit like a legend, a bit like seeing yourself later…. Legends are the only real things that exist…. The rest is history, but history, as you know, is false.” — Enzo Cucchi
