Quotes by John Moriarty (?)

“Gifts to us from the ancient Mediterranean world, they surely should be the hammer and sickle of our next revolution, because any journey to Finland Station that isn’t preceded by a journey to the end of the Labyrinth, or to the end of the Underworld, will end where all such journeys must necessarily end, with a new reign of terror, with guillotine and gulag.”
― John Moriarty, Nostos: An Autobiography

“When culture is in woeful crisis, the insights rarely come from parliament, senate, or committee, they tend to come from a hut at the edge of the village. Let’s go there. There is tremendous, unexpected hope waiting.”
― John Moriarty, A Hut at the Edge of the Village

“The songs I sang had big, wide, open longings in them and that is why I sang them. I wanted the horizons of longings in those songs to lie down with the horizon of our world and make it less lonely. Singing those songs in the way I sang them, I was trying to rescue a people up into their longings. I was trying to tell them that there was something more than bog sadness to the world, I was trying to tell them there is something more to the world than the blowing wind and the wet rain. And I sang because I wanted to be heard. Passing every house, I wanted the people who were getting up in it or making tea in it to recognize me as me.”
― John Moriarty, A Hut at the Edge of the Village
