To truly reach people it must have a lightness, a mysterious ease, a concise simplicity, something like dance without effort or fatigue.

Frei Otto
1925-2015

What united Frei and Ted was their wish to explore the unknown and push back the limits a little.

The audacity did not produce disbelief or surprise but rather happiness.

1917-2000

The secret is to be curious.

Robert Le Ricolais
1894-1977
