“Maybe if I smile the barrel will be pointed at someone else.”
Nikki Wallschlaeger, Houses

“Nothing seems to me more tragic than the pressures we put on artists to do what we think we'll like, and our refusal to prize what is most ornery and special about them.”
Marcia B. Siegel

Stokely Carmichael
“If a white man wants to lynch me, that's his problem. If he's got the power to lynch me, that's my problem. Racism is not a question of attitude; it's a question of power. Racism gets its power from capitalism. Thus, if you're anti-racist, whether you know it or not, you must be anti-capitalist. The power for racism, the power for sexism, comes from capitalism, not an attitude.”
Stokely Carmichael

Hubert Aquin
“Tuer confère un style à l'existence. C'est ce possible continuellement présent qui, par son insertion inavouable dans la vie courante, injecte à celle-ci le tonus sans quoi elle se résume à une reptation asthénique et à l'interminable expérimentation de l'ennui.”
Hubert Aquin, Next Episode

Cristina Rivera Garza
“You need the ocean for this: to stop believing in reality. To ask yourself impossible questions. To not know. To cease knowing. To become intoxicated by the smell. To close your eyes. To stop believing in reality.”
Cristina Rivera Garza, The Iliac Crest
