*Jannik and Lorenzo Sonego blowing kisses*

Jannik: Look at what a handsome boy he is! Above all, he is good-looking, then also good at doubles and at Fifa.

Interviewer: We have never heard Jannik talk so much

«Когда человек родится, он слаб и гибок, когда умирает, он крепок и черств. Когда дерево растет, оно нежно и гибко, а когда оно сухо и жестко, оно умирает. Черствость и сила - спутники смерти, гибкость и слабость выражают свежесть бытия. Поэтому что отвердело, то не победит.” 

Stalker (1979) dir. Andrei Tarkovsky

Let them believe in themselves. Let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing. When a man is just born, he is weak and fragile. When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it’s tender and fragile, but when it’s dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death’s companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win.
