“I plan to learn enough to read you like a book.
I plan to give this book to you and know you'll read it,
so our minds may meet across these pages,
in the colorful country of another writer's language,
where we can flourish in the knowledge that we are learning how to speak to one another;
and so our mouths will know what to do when they finally come together.”
― Sylvia Brownrigg, Pages for You

“Allen Ginsberg to Peter Orlovsky— 1958

Tho I long for the actual sunlight contact between us I miss you like a home. Shine back honey & think of me.”
― Allen Ginsberg

“What is a home if not the first place you learn to run from?”
― Clementine von Radics

“To be Druhástranian is to be dissatisfied with one’s condition until one can find some official personage to sign off on it. And if someone says that what you’re doing is all right today, won’t you need to get that approval reconfirmed later, get another stamp at some other desk a year from now? Of course this is a mind-set that a nation can be stunned into. All you need is a century or two of freedoms and strictures that appear and disappear between one year and the next, words and deeds that were frowned upon just yesterday receiving vehement acclaim today.”
― Helen Oyeyemi, Gingerbread
