Maggie Nelson
“You'd think the symbolic order would be showing a few more dents by now.”
― Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts

Taylor Branch
“The people of New York City have never experienced such fellowship, such awareness of being one, as they did last night in the midst of darkness,' Rabbi Heschel told his class at Union Seminary. 'Indeed, there is a light in the midst of the darkness of this hour. But, alas, most of us have no eyes.”
― Taylor Branch, At Canaan's Edge: America in the King Years 1965-68
tags: p362

Agatha Christie
“Oh. I see,' said Jane, who didn't.”
― Agatha Christie, Death in the Clouds

“So much information is now available to all that even unsophisticated people can easily detect inconsistencies in government policies and glaring inadequacies in the teachings of many of our institutions. We have greater doubts about the truthfulness and strength of our leaders, and we no longer take for granted the standards of conduct set by our churches, our universities, and even our laws. Thus, the information explosion has helped to weaken older value systems, but as yet no new systems have replaced the old.”
― Seymour Halleck, Politics of Therapy
tags: p178

“Writing from bed is a time-honored disabled way of being an activist and a cultural worker. It's one the mainstream doesn't often acknowledge but whose lineage stretches from Frida Kahlo painting in bed to Grace Lee Boggs writing in her wheelchair at age 98.”
― Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice
