“Imagination as an act required vulnerability, required that I didn't seek to master what I perceived but to respond in ways that allowed me to move and be moved by all that I encountered.”

“We often can't perform or uphold the identity category, and if we step outside the boundaries of the group, or if we question the categories of group identification and their enforcement, we can be met with hostility. Internally, we come to feel that something is fundamentally wrong with us. We end up wanting what we want to want, no longer knowing what we want or need. We just do what fits the scene. We follow the rules and more division occurs, which capitalism wants.”
