Isadora Duncan
“You were once wild here. Don’t let them tame you.”
Isadora Duncan, Isadora Speaks: Uncollected Writings and Speeches of Isadora Duncan

Arnold Bennett
“The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled,
as if you had never wasted or misapplied
a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a new leaf every hour
if you choose.”
Arnold Bennett

Elizabeth Strout
“He had said something like, "why don't people ever say anything real?" And now he knew why. Because to say anything real was to say things that nobody wanted to know. Or if they wanted to know, they would not care in the right way. Or even understand. It was a private thing to be alive. He understood this now.”
Elizabeth Strout, The Things We Never Say

“A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge. That is why I read so much.”
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

“the destruction of property is usually viewed as violent only if it disrupts profit or the maintenance of wealth. If food is destroyed because it cannot be sold while people go hungry, that is not considered violent under the norms of capitalism. If a person’s belongings are tossed on a sidewalk during an eviction and consequently destroyed, that is likewise not considered violent according to the norms of this society.”
Kelly Hayes, Let This Radicalize You: Organizing and the Revolution of Reciprocal Care
