Muzeul uneltelor Iv cel Naiv MOTTO: la fel ca și oamenii, și uneltele mor dar la fel ca și pe oameni, le putem învia când ni se face dor cuțitoiul de busteni când ești sătul de-ale orașului încinse borduri și vrei să-ți plimbi tălpile prin răcoroase păduri, când în loc să asculți sunetelenaturii.mp3 la căști sperând să îți vină idei, te duci în padure să le auzi cu urechile tale și-ajungi să te bucuri de tot ce-ți iese în cale, dacă ești atent, o voce hârșâită, de ani și ani de nimeni auzită, va ajunge la tine străbătând munți, văi și poieni. El este cuțitoiul de decojit bușteni. și știe să intre pe sub pielea unui copac cum doar aceste versuri în sufletu-ți o fac.

,,Acum câțiva ani toate uneltele mele încăpeau într-o ladă. Apoi au avut nevoie de un dulap, două dulapuri… cinci dulapuri.De ceva timp le-am închiriat o cameră doar a lor, ca un fel de azil pentru unelte! Sper să le fac și un muzeu la un moment dat, unde să poată fi admirate, pipăite, încercate, apreciate…’’ Cătălin Sorescu – colecționar unelte

A House for One
‘I don’t have anyone to share this house with, and probably things will stay the same. I want a small, precious house. A place to read with a big glass wall towards the garden and a tiny kitchen. I’ll be here only for ten days a month and I’ll have someone cooking for me. Again, I won’t be sharing the house with anyone, if you’d like to meet me, for example, there are plenty of beautiful places we can go, we dont have to meet in my house.’ Mr. B.
