Silvia Federici
“The revival of magical beliefs is possible today because it no longer represents a social threat. The mechanization of the body is so constitutive of the individual that, at least in industrialized countries, giving space to the belief in occult forces does not jeopardize the regularity of social behavior. Astrology too can be allowed to return, with the certainty that even the most devoted consumer of astral charts will automatically consult the watch before going to work.”
Silvia Federici, Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation

Patti Smith
“If I got lost along the way I had a compass that I had found embedded in a pile of wet leaves I was kicking my way through. The compass was old and rusted but it still worked, connecting the earth and stars. It told me where I was standing and which way was west but not where I was going and nothing of my worth.”
Patti Smith, M Train: A Memoir

Ottessa Moshfegh
“The speed of time varied, fast or slow, depending on the depth of my sleep. My favorite days were the ones that barely registered.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation

Ottessa Moshfegh
“I had no big plan to become a curator, no great scheme to work my way up a ladder. I was just trying to pass the time. I thought if I did normal things - held down a job, for example - I could starve off the part of me that hated everything.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation

Ottessa Moshfegh
“It was proof that I had not always been completely alone in this world. But I think I was also holding on to the loss, to the emptiness of the house itself, as though to affirm that it was better to be alone than to be stuck with people who were supposed to love you, yet couldn’t.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation
