"Marco Polo descreve uma ponte, pedra a pedra.
- Mas qual é a pedra que sustém a ponte? – pergunta Kublai Kan.
- A ponte não é sustida por esta ou por aquela pedra – responde Marco -, mas sim pela linha do arco que elas formam.
Kublai Kan permanece silencioso, refletindo. Depois acrescenta:
- Por que me falas de pedras? É só o arco que me importa.
Polo responde:
- Sem pedras não há arco."
In, “As Cidades Invisíveis” de Italo Calvino

Sem pedras não há arco
