Hämeen linnan Kerttuli – innoitus ja alkuperä

Kuten nimi kertookin, sijoittuu Hämeen linnan Kerttuli Hämeen linnaan. Linna, jonka läheisyydessä olemme yhdessä eläneet jo pari vuosikymmentä, on meille molemmille tärkeä innoituksen lähde ja oli keskeisessä osassa siinä, että innostuimme kertomaan Kerttulin tarinan.

Ulla: Vietin elämäni ensimmäiset yksitoista vuotta Hämeenlinnassa, keskiaikaisen linnan ympärille muodostuneessa kaupungissa. Vanhem

Plato
“According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.”
Plato, The Symposium

Douglas Adams
“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”
Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time

Guy Endore
“A real politician, and these were real politicians, never betrays his country to an outsider. He betrays it to himself. He is the enemy within.”
Guy Endore, The Werewolf of Paris

Friedrich Schiller
“Man only plays when he is in the fullest sense of the word a human being, and he is only fully a human being when he plays”
Friedrich von Schiller

Whitley Strieber
“Maybe that’s what the quasars that stand sentinel at the end of the universe are all about—they are the spots where people like Socrates and Christ dug through; they are windows into bright and terrible wisdom. They are warnings.”
Whitley Strieber, The Wild
