J.D. Salinger
“I was half in love with her by the time we sat down. That’s the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they’re not much to look at, or even if they’re sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

Sara Shepard
“We did all the tourist crap, but I just wanted to sit in a cafe and watch people”
Sara Shepard, Ruthless

Patti Smith
“On one such day, limping back to the home front beneath the anvil of the sun, I was accosted by my mother.
"Patricia," my mother scolded, "put a shirt on!"
"It's too hot," I moaned. "No one else has one on."
"Hot or not, it's time you started wearing a shirt. You're about to become a young lady." I protested vehemently and announced that I was never going to become anything but myself, that I was of the clan of Peter Pan and we did not grow up.
My mother won the argument and I put on a shirt, but I cannot exaggerate the betrayal I felt at that moment. I ruefully watched my mother performing her female tasks, noting herwell-endowed female body. It all seemed against my nature. The heavy scent of perfume and the red slashes of lipstick, so strong in the fifties, revolted me. For a time I resented her. She was the messenger and also the message. Stunned and defiant, with y dog at my feet, I dreamed of travel. Or running away and join the Foreign Legion, climbing the ranks and trekking the desert with my men.' p.10”
Patti Smith, Just Kids

Audre Lorde
“For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. Racism and homophobia are real conditions of all our lives in this place and time. I urge each one of us here to reach down into that deep place of knowledge inside herself and touch that terror and loathing of any difference that lives here. See whose face it wears. Then the personal as the political can begin to illuminate all our choices.”
Audre Lorde

Jack Kerouac
“Practice kindness all day to everybody and you will realize you’re already in heaven now.”
Jack Kerouac, The Portable Jack Kerouac
