Siri Hustvedt
“Art cannot be fixed to a single location because lived experience is not left behind in the room where the object rests unseen at night after the museum has closed its doors. The art object travels in many bodies in multiple forms and it speaks and writes and sings in many languages.It is a living thing.”
Siri Hustvedt, Mothers, Fathers, and Others: Essays

Joan Didion
“By which I mean not a "good" writer or a "bad" writer but simply a writer, a person whose most absorbed and passionate hours are spent arrang- ing words on pieces of paper. Had my credentials been in order I would never have become a writer. Had I been blessed with even limited access to my own mind there would have been no reason to write. I write entirely to find out what I'm think- ing, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.”
Joan Didion, Let Me Tell You What I Mean

Joan Didion
“In short I had no past, and, every Monday-Wednesday-Friday at noon in Dwinelle Hall, it seemed increasingly clear to me that I had no future.”
Joan Didion, Let Me Tell You What I Mean

“Days. I think perhaps we give the names of days too
much power. During my years at school, after I had been
thoroughly introduced to the system of the week, I often saw
each day as an individual character, each containing specific
traits whether I enjoyed them or not. But why
must we fit life into these repetitive compartments, constantly
expecting the same seven outcomes?
Perhaps we are just too
habituated to whatever it is we have decided that each day
feels like, we are familiar with the emotional patterns, we
know how to feel, what to expect, and we aren’t completely
open to the spontaneity of what could arrive if we just let
each day be a blank canvas.”
Nathanael Koah, Birds on a Carousel

Joan Didion
“I wonder if we had better not find some way to let our children know this, some way to extricate our expectations from theirs, some way to let them work through their own rejections and sullen rebellions and interludes with golf pros, unassisted by anxious prompting from the wings. Finding one's role at seventeen is problem enough, without being handed somebody else's script.”
Joan Didion, Let Me Tell You What I Mean
