the dullard sees no eros in fine champagne; the sorcerer can fall intoxicated on a glass of water
Hakim BeyOnly the dead are truly smart, truly cool. Nothing touches them. While I live, however, I side with bumbling suffering crooked life, with anger rather than boredom, with sweet lust, hunger & carelessness...against the icy avant-guard & its fashionable premonitions of the sepulcher.
Hakim BeyThe dullard finds even wine tasteless, while the sorcerer is intoxicated by the mere sight of water.
Hakim BeyTurn to yourselves rather than to your Gods or to your idols. Find what hides in yourselves; bring it to the light; show yourselves!
Hakim BeyProvided we can escape from the museums we carry around inside us, provided we can stop selling ourselves tickets to the galleries in our own skulls, we can begin to contemplate an art which re-creates the goal of the sorcerer: changing the structure of reality by the manipulation of living symbols ... Art tells gorgeous lies that come true.
