Spaces Quotes

“In these spaces of leisure, powerful local elites, Viet Kieus from the diaspora, business executives, and marginal tourists enter into niche markets that never overlap. Instead, each niche market operates with a unique logic of desire that has important implications for how we think about that place of sex work in the global economy.”

“A poetess is not as selfish as you assume. After months of agonising over her marriage of words—the bride— and spaces—the groom, she knows that as soon as she has penned the poem, it’s yours to consume. So, without giving it a think, she blows on the ink and the letters fly away like dandelions on a windy day, landing on hands and lips, on hearts and hips. But more often than not, you can easily spot them trodden and forgotten, becoming sodden and rotten. Yet, she will continue to make what’s others to take because selfishness is not the mark of a poetess.”

“Guaravacan del Guaicuì: vossignoria prenda nota di questo nome. Ma, non esiste più, non si trova – ultimamente, quel posto si chiama Caixeiropoli; e dicono che là adesso ci vengono le febbri. In quel tempo, no. No che io mi ricordi. Ma fu in quel luogo, in quel tempo, che il mio destino fu suggellato. È possibile che ci sia un punto definito, da cui uno non può più tornare indietro? Traversia della mia vita. Guaravacan – vossignoria veda, vossignoria scriva. Le grandi cose, prima che accadano. Adesso, il mondo vuol restare senza sertao. […] Quel luogo, l'aria. […] Il vento è verde. Lì, nell'intervallo, uno prende il silenzio e se lo mette sulle ginocchia. Io sono di dove nacqui. Sono di altri luoghi. Ma, là, a Guaravacan, io stavo bene.”

“Material possessions radiate a certain type of energy. They are not neutral. The more material possessions you have around you, the more distracting and draining those objects can become. If the outside world dominates your thoughts with responsibilities, worries, and conflicting energies of all sorts, then your mind and spirit will not have the space to allow the creative force to flow and flower.”

“Distance reminds us that there’s a lot more to the universe than just people—that there’s even a lot more to people than just people. It reminds us that there are mental spaces inside our skulls as enormous as the spaces out there. The experience of distance, of inner distance and outer distance, of distance in time and distance in space—it’s the first and fundamental religious experience.”
