Exciting the Human Soul

  Publicerad av Emanuel Sidea

“Av alla de saker som kan tänkas ut under himlens konkav finns ingenting som eggar den mänskliga själen, hänför sinnena, är mer skrämmande, provocerar fram lika mycket terror, eller avundsjuka, som de monster, vidunder och styggelser genom vilka vi kan se naturens skapelser inverterade, muterade och stympade.”

Pierre Boaistuau, “Histoire Prodogoeises” (1564)

The Multinational Soul

  Publicerad av Emanuel Sidea

“I am simply a fairly typical product of a movable sensibility living and working in a world that is itself increasingly small and increasingly mongrel. I am a multinational soul on a multinational globe on which more and more countries are as polyglot and restless as airports. Taking planes seems as natural to me as picking up the phone or going to school; I fold up my self and carry it around as if it were an overnight bag.”

Pico Iyer, in Harper’s (April 1993)
