Book cover for Radically Content: Being Satisfied in an Endlessly Dissatisfied World
Often, what we think we need and want isn’t a true, genuine desire. It’s a reach for social capital. Because in our current world, social capital means more than anything else. Have the right body, the right look, the right skin color, the ...more

“Our task...isn't to save Trump voters. It isn't to convince them to give up their views that white people ought to matter more than others. Our task is to build a world where such a view has no place or quarter to breathe. I'm aware that this is a radical, some may even say dangerous, claim. It amounts to throwing away a large portion of the country, many of whom are willing to defend their positions with violence. But we cannot give in to these people. We know what the result will be. And I cannot watch another generation of Black children bear the burden of that choice.”

“When you’re not sure where you’re going or what’s really important to you, you’ll never know when enough is enough.”
David Allen, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

Stanley Fish
“In her book The Writing Life (1989), Annie Dillard tells the story of a fellow writer who was asked by a student, "Do you think I could be a writer?" "'Well,' the writer said, 'do you like sentences?'" The student is surprised by the question, but Dillard knows exactly what was meant. He was being told, she explains, that "if he likes sentences he could begin," and she remembers a similar conversation with a painter friend. "I asked him how he came to be a painter. He said, 'I like the smell of paint.'" The point, made implicitly (Dillard does not belabour it), is that you don't begin with a grand conception, either of the great American novel or masterpiece that will hang in the Louvre. You begin with a feel for the nitty-gritty material of the medium, paint in one case, sentences in the other.”
Stanley Fish

“The enemy is conventional language; the antidote is poetry and mild intoxicants.”
Douglas Glover, Attack of the Copula Spiders: Essays on Writing

“Trauma doesn't occur in a vacuum. You don't outgrow it with time. It grows with you, even if the growing goes all wrong. It's like breaking an arm and never putting it in a cast. You're bigger, but the bone is still broken. Maybe there's a throb of pain once in a while. You can't just stop using the arm. The more you use it the more it tears and contorts. You get clumsy. You break more limbs. Even if you see a doctor now, there's no going back to the beginning.”
Sung Yim, What About the Rest of Your Life
