'pressure and explosions...make the extraordinary things.
and as with these minerals in the ground, so with the minerals in 'us'. surely. for we are made of the same stuff as the earth, after all - and so 'we' must alchemize when 'we' are pressurized, or when things explode, too.
this is why certain places in the world - nashville, new york, liverpool, berlin, london, detroit, vienna - keep producing voices, and geniuses; storytellers, and singers. things exploded there - politically, economically, socially. there were fires, or bombs, or floods, or plagues - and so the chemical compositions of their citizens change. this is the geology of creativity. pressure, and heat, make astonishing people.' - caitlin moran
