Sacred Places Quotes - Page 2

• La biblioteca huele a libros viejos: mil puertas de cuero a otros mundos. Oigo el silencio, como la mente de Dios. Siento una presencia en la silla vacía que hay a mi lado. El bibliotecario me observa con desconfianza. Pero la biblioteca es un lugar sagrado y me siento con el santo patrón de los lectores. La luz pulsante de la diosa me atraviesa por un momento como un atisbo de eternidad instantáneamente olvidada. Ya no está. Huelo a moho, oigo el tic-tac del reloj, veo una silla vacía. Pregúntame ahora y te diré que este es un lugar donde no se puede poner música ni comer. Se ha ido. La biblioteca apesta.

• On another front of the category-error argument are the insufferable fogeys who think the [Nobel] award is an outrage upon literature itself. That the problem is not simply a mistake may have been made about definitions, but that awful vulgarians are encroaching upon their sacred places. [Bob] Dylan, to them, is the harbinger of the low-culture mob; the latest in an unending number of final straws, or the thin end of a wedge that never seems to get thicker.

• Right here in our bodies, in our defense of our right to experience joy, in the refusal to abandon the place where we have been most completely invaded & colonized, in our determination to make the bombed & defoliated lands flower again and bear fruit, here where we have been most shamed is one of the most radical & sacred places from which to transform the world.

• I think that watching artists, soulful artists, they get into it. It's always the way I perform, so when I'm on stage I just try to get into it - I'm in my own world. That's the whole thing about the stage, it's like a sacred place. They're [the audience] watching into the different world, right, so it's like you see performers and they're in the same room, so it's a different vibe. Sometimes it's great, but I try to separate it, you know, I wanna separate it 'cos otherwise I feel naked. It just feels natural.

• Incluso Occidente ha conocido la arquitectura del espacio vacío, cuyo objeto, durante miles de años, ha sido menos construir casas divinas que crear lugares sagrados, apoderarse del misterio y sumergir al hombre en él, ya sea elevando el ciclópeo pedestal que lo rodea de estrellas, o vaciando el santuario que lo envuelve en la noche embrujada.
