“Presumably all obsessions are extreme metaphors waiting to be born. ”

J. G. Ballard

“I believe in the power of the imagination to remake the world, to release the truth within us, to hold back the night, to transcend death, to charm motorways, to ingratiate ourselves with birds, to enlist the confidences of madmen.” ”

—J. G. Ballard (November 15, 1930 - April 19, 2009)
