ARTE MAGNÉTICA DE tanto amar y andar salen los libros. Y si no tienen besos o regiones y si no tienen hombre a manos llenas, si no tienen mujer en cada gota, hambre, deseo, cólera, caminos, no sirven para escudo ni campana: están sin ojos y no podrán abrirlos, tendrán la boca muerta del precepto. Amé las genitales enramadas y entre sangre y amor cavé mis versos, en tierra dura establecí una rosa disputada entre el fuego y el rocío. Por eso pude caminar cantando. ↗

Even in a personal sense, after all, art is an intensified life. By art one is more deeply satisfied and more rapidly used up. It engraves on the countenance of its servant the traces of imaginary and intellectual adventures, and even if he has outwardly existed in cloistral tranquility, it leads in the long term to overfastidiousness, over-refinement, nervous fatigue and overstimulation, such as can seldom result from a life of the most extravagant passions and pleasures. ↗

— Thomas Mann

Way before we were scratching pictures on caves or beating rhythms on hollow trees we were perfecting the art of combining our breath and mind and muscles into fluid self-propulsion over wild terrain. ↗

Could it be that God was an extra-terrestrial? What do we mean when we say that heaven is in the clouds? From Jesus Christ to Elvis Presley, every culture tells us of high-flying bird men who zoom around the world creating magnificent works of art and choosing willing followers to share in the eternal glory from beyond the stars. Can all these related phenomena merely be dismissed as coincidence? ↗

— Erich von Däniken
