Help with finding the origins of a Stina quote

Post by Elforel »

Dear everyone...

First of all, Belated wishes for a happy year 2013 and (less belated) wishes for an even happier year of the Snake!
I just received an email by Eduardo, a fellow board member with whom I had exchanged a few emails in the past and he asked me if I remembered the source of a Stina quote saying "disorder is the force that moves around the objects so you don't know where they belong". According to him, it may have appeared on the A WALK IN THE PARK website...

Does it ring a bell to any of you? He apparently needs it for an essay he's writing.
Kuhn, I've taken the liberty to give him your email address (well, at least the one I had...)-I hope you don't mind.

I hope you're all doing well...
Lots of love from China!

Oh dear,not a little ding-a-ling or even a little tinkle by the sound of things? :mrgreen:

Sorry Elfy, I can't help....if it was from the era of A walk In The Park then it was well before my time. I don't remember that quote at all.

Hope you're having fun in China? :)

A 'google' search provides just the one link to the quote, a posting made in 2010,which doesn't particularly help. :?

Um, if you look, the originator of that google hit is one Eduardo-who is presumably Elfy's mate who's trying to find where that quote came from. :lol:

Oh well, he's been waiting nearly two and a half years now so hopefully someone will put him out of his misery? 8)

on 24/07/1999, stina wrote in The Dialogue, section Wordplay:

Disorder
-- In the creative process quite necessary. Safety and non-safety are tightly connected, nearness and distance, gratitude and revanchism. Disorder is the force that move around the objects, so you don´t know where they belong.

Doll
-- Scary, terrifying, something used in horror films when kids are involved. They are suitable for the purpose, because the grown-ups look upon them as symbols of reliability and non-danger. Then they turn into something completely different, evil, wicked.

hope this helps :I

Is that the same as the stuff that's on the back of one of the PAS inner sleeves? There's a 'word-association' gloss as part of it (the one that's a poster with an interview in miniscule font on the reverse).
