Ibiza Quotes

“Who’s to say what a ‘literary life’ is? As long as you are writing often, and writing well, you don’t need to be hanging-out in libraries all the time.
Nightclubs are great literary research centers. So is Ibiza!”

“I carry on in this island whipped by typhoons
Chained to the sea as the waves
Crash against the dam, and I proclaim you.
I scream, until hoarse, your beloved name.

—José Manuel Cardona, from Birnam Wood (Salmon Poetry, 2018), translated by Hélène Cardona”

“Ibizal teatavasti on veidraid nähtusi ja inimesi küllaga, see saar lausa tõmbab mingi magnetina kiiksuga inimesi ligi. Mina aga armastan veidrusi, sest neis on nii palju avastamisrõõmu. Teiste kiikse jälgides on vahel ka ennast kergem mõista või siis oma sallivuse piire kompida.”

“En todos los idiomas las dos palabras de mejor sonoridad siempre se reservan para dar nombre a las mariposas y a las islas. Pero las palabras a veces engañan, porque si miras de cerca a una mariposa y te olvidas de sus alas no dejas de ver un insecto.”
― Xavier Molina
