Tiny story: All the broken people...

The advantages of scraps and shards

Things that can't be broken: A sneeze, a puddle, a gust of wind, honey. A short candle is hard to snap, and scarves are too soft.
Human beings are also hard to break. It takes persistent psychological and physical creativity to do so. Like freezing honey so that it shatters.
Yet I am convinced that most of us are broken – a little, or a lot.
This systematic breakin Read more of this blog post »

“Therefore I would ask you to write all kinds of books, hesitating at no subject however trivial or however vast. By hook or by crook, I hope that you will possess yourselves of money enough to travel and to idle, to contemplate the future or the past of the world, to dream over books and loiter at street corners and let the line of thought dip deep into the stream.”

“Suppose, for instance, that men were only represented in literature as the lovers of women, and were never the friends of men, soldiers, thinkers, dreamers; how few parts in the plays of Shakespeare could be allotted to them; how literature would suffer! We might perhaps have most of Othello; and a good deal of Antony; but no Caesar, no Brutus, no Hamlet, no Lear, no Jaques--literature would be incredibly impoverished, as indeed literature is impoverished beyond our counting by the doors that have been shut upon women.”
― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own
