• En un grado u otro, todo el mundo está conectado al Misterio, y todo el mundo anhela en secreto ampliar la conexión. Para ello es necesario ampliar el alma. Estas cosas pueden ampliar el alma: la risa, el peligro, la imaginación, la meditación, la naturaleza salvaje, la pasión, la compasión, los psicodélicos, la belleza, la iconoclasia y conducir bajo la lluvia con la capota bajada. Estas cosas pueden disminuirla: el miedo, la amargura, la insipidez, las modas, el egoísmo, la violencia, la corrupción, la ignorancia, el aferramiento, el brillo y comer ketchup con requesón.

  Tom Robbins

  Risa, lluvia, ignorancia

• The appeal of science fiction has always been its iconoclasm . . . But in order to be an iconoclast, an author must be more than merely aware of the idol he wishes to destroy. He must be intimate with it and understand it in all its aspects. This means that he must have devoted serious thought to it, and have beliefs of his own which will stand up in the place of the broken idol. In other words, any child can complain, but it takes an adult to clash with accepted beliefs . . . an adult with ideas.

• Para sus devotos, la pajarita sugiere iconoclasia del Viejo Mundo, una adhesión a un punto de vista contrario. La pajarita alude al intelectualismo, real o fingido, y a veces sugiere perspicacia técnica, quizá porque es muy difícil de anudar. Las pajaritas las llevan magos, médicos rurales, abogados, profesores y personas que quieren parecerse a todos ellos. Pero quizá, sobre todo, llevar pajarita es una forma de transmitir una agresiva despreocupación por lo que piensen los demás.

• It would scarcely be destruction," he replied gently. "Let us call it iconoclasm, the swallowing of formulas, which has always had its full retinue of idealists. And you do not want a Napoleon . All that is needed is direction, which could be given by men of far lower gifts than a Bonaparte. In a word, you want a Power-House, and then the age of miracles will begin.

  found in Mithra's tomb,
  candle and script and bell,
  take what the new-church spat upon
  and broke and shattered.

• This book could scare them. The sex, the violence, the dream sequences and the iconoclasm - I think a lot of people are uncomfortable with that. I understand that. It was very uncomfortable to write some of it
