“What other species now require of us is our attention. Otherwise, we are entering a narrative of disappearing intelligences.”
― Finding Beauty in a Broken World
― Finding Beauty in a Broken World
“And the blabbing, the telling, was the messiest thing of all: getting control of language was getting control of anger and shame, and it was hard, hard to turn it around, to take the mess of experience and make something coherent out of it. Only then did you know that you'd got the better of the things that had happened to you: when you controlled the story rather than it controlling you.”
