Ég vissi að þessi bók fjallaði um niðurrif Iðnaðarbankahússins við Lækjargötu og bjóst við listrænni greiningu á þeim gjörningi en þessi bók er svo miklu miklu meira. Ég las hana í einum rykk, hún er með svo breiðan faðm í víðtækri merkingu, bæði hlý ...more | |

“Your time is the time of the people you know and love, the time that molds you. And your time is also the time of the people you will know and love. The time that you will shape.”
― On Time and Water
― On Time and Water
“Anche se la spudorata devastazione di quel luogo tanto speciale mi rattristava molto, ho optato per parole che tutti potessero considerare sensate e adeguate. Ho usato il linguaggio predominante del liberismo, dell'innovazione, dell'utilitarismo e del marketing. Ho parlato dell'importanza di quella zona per l'immagine dell'Islanda, delle sue potenzialità per il mercato turistico, del suo valore per la ricerca scientifica e della possibilità che gli altipiani interni fossero utilizzati come set cinematografici o pubblicitari, attirando così valuta straniera. [...] Ma viviamo in tempi in cui è il denaro a misurare la realtà. Non potevo giustificare il diritto della natura all'esistenza e il suo valore argomentando che lì si trovavano i vasti silenti spazi degli dei.”

“Those who define the world based on money, industry and production capacity have seemingly been spared from acquiring an understanding of biology, geology or ecology. They calculate statistics and feel optimistic. What’s fatal to the Earth and unsustainable for the future is hidden by the words ‘favorable economic outlook’. Increased oil production is positive for the economy; doubling aluminium production is positive. Economic growth doesn’t distinguish sustainability and unsustainability. Imagine making no distinction between strengthening or fattening, or between a child or a tumour growing in the womb. Growth is simply presented as an inherent good; there’s no distinction made between malignant and benign growth.”
