“nothing is sacred in and of itself...Ideas, texts, even people can be made
sacred...
the act of making sacred is in truth an event in history. It is the product of the
many and complex pressures of the time in which the act occurs. And
events in history must always be subject to questioning, deconstruction,
even to declaration of their obsolescence”
Salman Rushdie, Is Nothing Sacred?
