Profane Space

“Both magic and religion are based strictly on mythological tradition, and they also both exist in the atmosphere of the miraculous, in a constant revelation of their wonder-working power. They both are surrounded by taboos and observances which mark off their acts from those of the profane world.”
—Bronislaw Malinowski (1884–1942)

“I take SPACE to be the central fact to man born in America.... I spell it large because it comes large here. Large and without mercy.”
