"The next time you see somebody driving a Ferrari, don't think this is somebody who is greedy, think this is somebody who is incredibly vulnerable and in need of love. In other words, feel sympathy, rather than contempt."
– Alain de Botton

thoughts on the art & science of bringing great things to life, by Diego Rodriguez
I prefer to feel gratitude for the public good of the rolling sculpture.
Virginia, I agree. I’ll judge the car separate from the driver. I love a GTO no matter who is driving it.
Actually, I have two friends who own a Ferrari, and each of them are amazing people. Of course, they’re owners of front-engine, V-12 machines from the 1960’s. With Pininfarina bodywork. No gold-chain Magnum PI cars there.
