Reclamation Quotes

• Mi último consejo es que eduquen, agiten y organicen; que tengan fe en sí mismos. Con la justicia de nuestro lado, no veo cómo podemos perder la batalla. Para mí, la batalla es una cuestión de alegría. La batalla es espiritual en el sentido más amplio. No tiene nada de material ni de social. La nuestra no es una batalla por la riqueza o el poder. Es una batalla por la libertad. Es la batalla de la reivindicación de la personalidad humana.

• we all begin the process before we are ready, before we are strong enough, before we know enough; we begin a dialogue with thoughts and feelings that both tickle and thunder within us. We respond before we know how to speak the language, before we know all the answers, and before we know exactly to whom we are speaking.

• There’s this thing called progress. But it doesn’t progress. It doesn’t go anywhere. Because as progress progresses the world can slip away. It’s progress if you can stop the world slipping away. My humble model for progress I the reclamation of land. Which is repeatedly, never-ending retrieving what it lost. A dogged and vigilant business. A dull yet valuable business. A hard, inglorious business. But you shouldn’t go mistaking the reclamation of land for the building of empires.

• Everything's stolen. Everything precious - be it a kiss, or be it James Brown - gets misappropriated to the aid of the advertising executives. So, an act of reclamation, somewhere else to be: that's what I want my music to be. Somewhere you can step into. A place.

• En el progreso mismo de la sociedad, la prisión ha experimentado, en la naturaleza misma de las cosas, algunas mejoras, pero aún quedan vastos trechos por recorrer antes de que la prisión se convierta, si es que alguna vez llega a serlo, en una institución para la recuperación y rehabilitación de hombres y mujeres descarriados y desafortunados.

• Conocía las playas holandesas como territorios artificiales, en el marco de diversos proyectos de recuperación de tierras. Pero también me interesaba la realidad mediática de la llegada a la Luna. Quería utilizar ese acontecimiento como medida del tiempo, para ver qué había ocurrido en esos treinta años, que casualmente también son los míos. Nací en 1967 y recuerdo haber visto la llegada a la Luna por televisión cuando tenía dos años. Todas esas cosas estaban en juego. Luego se convirtió en una gran producción. Hicieron falta cinco meses para reunir la buena voluntad y hacerlo realidad.

• Let's just call what happened in the eighties the reclamation of motherhood . . . by women I knew and loved, hard-driving women with major careers who were after not just babies per se or motherhood per se, but after a reconciliation with their memories of their own mothers. So having a baby wasn't just having a baby. It became a major healing.
