Quotes by Barry McCrea (?)

“Lo que queremos hacer es crear una conexión entre el mundo que percibimos con nuestros sentidos y el mundo del arte, el de los muertos, el que no podemos ver.”
― Barry McCrea, The First Verse

“Los sortes son el método principal para comunicarnos con el mundo inmaterial, más allá de las propias experiencias sensoriales. La idea es que conectamos con el gran fondo colectivo de la humanidad, que supera la vida corriente y mortal de cada uno. Resucitamos el cementerio del pensamiento humano de todos los tiempos. Se supone que es así como funciona, cómo las preguntas encuentran sus respuestas, todo es cuestión de energía. Arquetipo y energía.”
― Barry McCrea, The First Verse

“Era inútil, algún demonio de la dislexia había hechizado aquellos libros, las palabras que tenía delante se resistían a encajar de forma coherente, se mantenían alejadas de mí, arraigadas en su contexto específico.”
― Barry McCrea, The First Verse
