Since ancient times the great thinkers have had a special place in the consciences of individuals by inspiring their behavior and actions both public or private. We often try to find the right words to say something, and we wish we could say that something using the words of these greatest masters. These 106 tweets have been written to help you to find the exact words you are looking for. 106 master tweets is a collection of elegant quotes from influential thinkers and writers about the concepts of culture, existence, thought (meaning the activity of thinking), politics (i.e. the political behavior of man as social being) and society. As these texts are synthetic and decontextualized, they are often complex; in this e-book each one is presented with explanatory comment for better understanding and, above all, to keep you reflecting on them. In this way reading becomes an activity that is both pleasurable and profound, which touches upon the reasons why we believe and act in this world. “Reading makes a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man.” This is the first tweet of this e-book and it was written by the English philosopher and scientist Francis Bacon in the 17th century. It could be engraved on the stones of every school.

Francìsco Barros was born in La Spezia. Today, he lives in Florence, but he also feels Brazilian, the language of his name. He holds a BA from the University of Florence, where he graduated from the College of Liberal Arts. He then carried on with his studies of philosophical matters linked to existential topics, to philosophy of politics and to the connections between philosophy and psychoanalysis. Thus, he turned his attention to the pragmatic problems originating from the idealistic and complex tensions related to human existence by suggesting questions and answers to enrich the subjective nature of experience, the personal point of view relating it dialectically with the objective - intimate and external - reality.

Culture
Reading makes a full man; Conference a ready man; and Writing an exact man.
Francis Bacon
From: Essays
The path leading to a respectable existence can be followed by Mankind through the practice of reading, conferencing and writing. The tangible benefits (of these practices) are rapid and evident in the plenitude of talents and qualities, in the knowledge of methods and content and in the precision of conversational and intellectual expressions that men can guarantee to themselves and in society.
Culture is an ornament in good luck but a refuge in bad luck.
Aristotle
From: Diogenes Laërtius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers
Mankind can ensure himself a dignified existence, i.e. the aforementioned “good luck”, in society, should he put ahead of his other existential manifestations an intellectual exercise aimed at improving and enriching personal talent including the activity of thought. This existential journey also serves as a refuge, shelter and defence against human and social misfortune as it reinforces the leading role of the self in its attempts to modify and improve the reality of the individual and society.
You can read, read, read, which is the most beautiful thing one could do in one’s youth. And slowly you will feel enriched inside; you will feel forming from within that special experience that is culture.
Pier Paolo Pasolini
From: Vie Nuove
Culture here is some special experience to undertake since youth, one of the most fruitful human ages in terms of creativity and initiative. It is with the specific knowledge that young people gain from reading - in both their experiences at school as well as their general experiences of relationships - that the journey to that special, original and unique experience indeed starts.
