MOACIR: Works by Moacir Soares Farias. "...Moacir Soares Farias is an artist that lives in São Jorge, a small village next to the entrance of the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park in the state of Goiás. 'Seu Nô' suffers from bone malformation, and has speech and hearing impediments. Nowadays he lives off his art, but before he searched for crystals. He began drawing on local stones using colored rocks when he was eight years old. Crying, he would often ask his mother to make his visions stop. Most of his works are done with crayons. He paints and draws his visions. According to him, the images he creates are all things he sees. Moacir has no formal art instruction, and believes in the beings he depicts in his paintings."

"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.
"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."

"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words."
