Raquel Jodorowsky Quotes

Life itself returns over destruction, putting out death. (1963)

There is space, I say this from my heart, to reconstruct the world. (September 1963)

Generally, a revolution isn't enough. For me, it's changing one chaos for another. The important thing is to know that which from this moment is to be constructed.

100 painters engraving their dreams on skin

Apenas soy un gusano con necesidades metafísicas que quiere amanecer pero le falta el sol

No sé si a veces me ha dolido el Hambre o más el Mundo que permite esta Hambre

Ay de los que ya no alumbran ni dejan alumbrar.

We think of these people as primitive, uneducated, crude. But bringing myself a bit closer to their lives, I felt with emotion their capacity for kindness which they radiate, because they contain it, towards any stranger. Every civilized-intelligent person, whom I have known, tends towards evil, coldness, distrust of friend. Every civilized-intelligent person, seated one step above the rest, perhaps in order to spit down on them and shout; "because I am intelligent" -with the right to everything, above everyone. I've come to the conclusion, after briefly touching these high villages without aspirations, that intelligence is not one of the human values I respect. It's inhuman. Especially since those gifted with super doses of cerebral juice can't seem to live in peace with each other. They isolate themselves and retreat from a reality they insist on showing their back. There I found men who escape all definition. Perhaps "pure" is the poor word best fitting. I feel not that "I've arrived" in a marvelous world, but that "I've left" the inclement garbage of the city. (1963)
