The balloon is the romantic dream of a time when inventions didn’t necessarily have to be used for anything, but were stairs of the imagination.

(Rosario Battiato)

Flying in the silence of nature, carried by the wind and dreams, it is a flight in a balloon.

(Stephen Littleword)

Nobody looks at what is in front of their feet:
everyone looks to the stars.

(Quinto Ennio)
