«Recuso-me a aceitar um qualquer fenómeno de índole miraculosa capaz de libertar aquela ou aquele que age no texto, na tela ou na partitura, da sua condição de ser social, ou um qualquer parêntesis que possa isolar o gesto da criação artística dos restantes gestos da existência. E uma intervenção no Mundo nunca o deixa incólume: deforma, modula, filtra, exalta e suprime.
(Alexandre Andrade, Nota Prévia às Não-Metamorfoses)
«Scepticism is not, despite much popular misconception, a point of view. It is, instead, an essential component of intelectual inquiry, a method of determining the facts whatever they may be and wherever they may lead. It is a part of what we call common sense. It is a part of the way science works. All who are interested in the search for knowledge and the advancement of understanding, imperfect as those enterprises may be, should, it seems to me, support critical inquiry, whatever the subject and whatever the outcome.»
(Kendrick Frazier, Skeptical Inquirer)
«Good evening. Tonight on "Is There?" we examine the question of life after death. And here to discuss it are three dead people. The late Sir Brian Hardacre, former curator of the Imperial War Museum; the late Professor Thynne, until recently an academic, critic, and broadcaster; and putting the view of the Church of England, the very late Prebendary Reverend Ross. Gentlemen, is there a life after death or not? Sir Brian?
[silence]
Professor?
[silence]
Prebendary?
[silence]
Well there we have it, three say no. On "Is There?" next week, we'll be discussing the question "Is there enough of it about?" Until then, goodnight.»
(Monty Python's Flying Circus)
O Alexandre Andrade cumpre hoje quatro anos de blogosfera. Se eu entendi bem a Teoria da Evolução, todos nós, um dia, daqui por milhões de anos, teremos um blogue como o do Alexandre. E guelras. Mas ainda falta muito tempo.
