Intoxicating Quotes

“He sank back into his black-and-white world, his immobile world of inanimate drawings that had been granted the secret of motion, his death-world with its hidden gift of life. But that life was a deeply ambiguous life, a conjurer's trick, a crafty illusion based on an accidental property of the retina, which retained an image for a fraction of a second after the image was no longer present. On this frail fact was erected the entire structure of the cinema, that colossal confidence game. The animated cartoon was a far more honest expression of the cinematic illusion than the so-called realistic film, because the cartoon reveled in its own illusory nature, exulted in the impossible--indeed it claimed the impossible as its own, exalted it as its own highest end, found in impossibility, in the negation of the actual, its profoundest reason for being. The animated cartoon was nothing but the poetry of the impossible--therein lay its exhilaration and its secret melancholy. For this willful violation of the actual, while it was an intoxicating release from the constriction of things, was at the same time nothing but a delusion, an attempt to outwit mortality. As such it was doomed to failure. And yet it was desperately important to smash through the constriction of the actual, to unhinge the universe and let the impossible stream in, because otherwise--well, otherwise the world was nothing but an editorial cartoon.”

“I had abandoned everything frivolously doing this that and nothing until you broke through with your perfume of promise saying 'Give me your chaos' undressing my soul with your ferocious beauty and tulip-soft skin making me uncivilised making me overcome myself You drink the darkness within darkness and are not ruined by it This intoxicating uncertainty forces me to delay ‘forever’ —your body is now my home”

“I’m the music in my ears, sound, hear, disappear. I’m the trees I see, moving, not moving, swaying in the wind. I’m the touch of invisible hands when I’m drowning, grab, stretch, hold. I’m the scent of jasmine in the summer breeze, intoxicating, longing, calming. I’m the taste of honey, sweet on the tongue, smooth, happy. I’m the thought of nothing, embracing, peaceful, alive. I’m everything, life, home, peace. I’m nothing.”
