“Home is our school of intimacy, where we first learn to be human. Its corners and nooks conceal the sweetness of solitude; its rooms frame our experience of relationship. Its shelter, stability, and security work to concentrate our unique inner sense of self, an identity that imbues our day dreams and night dreams forever. Its hiding places—closets, chests, drawers, locks, and keys—satisfy our need for mystery and independence. Doors—locked, closed, half shut, wide open—trigger our sense of wonder, safety, possibility, and adventure.”
― Shoshana Zuboff, The Age Of Surveillance Capitalism [Hardcover], Deep Work, Shoe Dog, Meditation For Fidgety Skeptics 4 Books Collection Set

“You are a piece of the
puzzle of someone else's life.
You may never know where you fit,
but others will fill the holes
in their lives
with pieces of you.”
― Bonnie Arbon

“War is the extreme expression of division between people… but people are beguiled into this catastrophic trap by countless tiny steps of division. It begins way back in the virtuous little dissociations of oneself from the weaknesses that are all too evident in one’s neighbor.”
― Philip Britts, Water at the Roots: Poems and Insights of a Visionary Farmer
