Joris-Karl Huysmans
“I marvel at the placidity of the Utopian who imagines that man is perfectible. There is no denying that the human creature is born selfish, abusive, vile. Just look around you and see. Society cynical and ferocious, the humble heckled and pillaged by the rich traffickers in necessities. Everywhere the triumph of the mediocre and unscrupulous, everywhere the apotheosis of crooked politics and finance. And you think you can make any progress against a stream like that? No, man has never changed. His soul was corrupt in the days of Genesis and is not less rotten at present. Only the form of his sins varies. Progress is the hypocrisy which refines the vices.”
Huysmans Joris-Karl Huysmans, Là-Bas

“O Godhead of glory and anguish!
O Christ shone through Magdalen's tears!
Thy sons on the universe languish
In iron bands strong as the spheres;
With virtue Thy likeness we cover,
With priestcraft we mock at Thy power,
And the meanest on earth is a lover,
As vile as a flower.”
Aleister Crowley, White Stains & The Nameless Novel: Flowers of Eros and Evil

“Nepravedno je čitatelja ostaviti da traži i rekonstruira do pola pročitanu priču. Ne želim zamišljati kraj – ni svoj, ni bilo čiji drugi. Početak i kraj dobivamo, a ono što je između
njih stvaramo upravo zato da bismo izbjegli razmišljati o početku i kraju. Priču trebam!”
Jasna Horvat, Vilikon

“U Kraljevstvu Hrvatskom po livadama raste vrlo neobično bilje, među njim tu cvate i posve neobična trava. To glavičasto jesenje cvijeće crvene je boje, a korijen te trave nalik je glavici crvenog luka. U rana jutra, kada je sva priroda rosom okvašena, ta biljka od sebe otpušta bijelu sluz i iz nje se otjelotvoruju mlade vile.”
Jasna Horvat, Vilikon

Jasna Horvat

Jasna Horvat, Vilikon

Jasna Horvat, Vilikon

Jasna Horvat
“Učenje je poput brzog putovanja: ni na trenutak nema zaustavljanja... Pripremi se na pripovijedanja o onome što moje oči ne će vidjeti. Slušat ću o nevidljivim ženama iz tvoga kraja.”
Jasna Horvat, Vilikon
